Ugh, I remember my head spinning when I first looked into this. But OK,
I can do as you suggest.

Just to clarify: if the *-internal-delay-ps property is missing, you are
saying that I should set the delay to 0 rather than my defaults (tx=1,
rx=4), right?

Consistency with what exactly? All I'm saying with this code is that for
CPU ports, we have to force some mode on it in response to mac_link_up.
This doesn't apply to user ports because the PHY is always internal to
the switch (this appears to be the case for all switches in the
rtl8365mb-like family). Or are you wondering about a scenario where the
port is treated as a DSA port?
