Please don't force the delay property to be present, use the default
of 2ns if it is missing.

This is the tricky bit. Do we want to act on PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_RGMII?
At the moment, i would say no, lets see how many patches we get
because of the warning you add. But i think it is worth adding a
comment here, briefly explaining why it is missing.
