On RTL8211F the RX and TX delays (2ns) can be configured in two ways: - pin strapping (RXD1 for the TX delay and RXD0 for the RX delay, LOW means "off" and HIGH means "on") which is read during PHY reset - using software to configure the TX and RX delay registers So far only the configuration using pin strapping has been supported. Add support for enabling or disabling the RGMII RX delay based on the phy-mode to be able to get the RX delay into a known state. This is important because the RX delay has to be coordinated between the PHY, MAC and the PCB design (trace length). With an invalid RX delay applied (for example if both PHY and MAC add a 2ns RX delay) Ethernet may not work at all. Also add debug logging when configuring the RX delay (just like the TX delay) because this is a common source of problems.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
