There are standard properties in order to configure a specific RX and TX
delay:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/net/ethernet-controller.yaml#n125

can you use that mechanism and parse that property, or if nothing else,
allow an user to override delays via device tree using these standard
properties?
