What does 'delay lines' mean with respect to RGMII?

The RGMII signals need a 2ns delay between the clock and the data
lines. There are three places this can happen:

1) In the PHY
2) Extra long lines on the PCB
3) In the MAC

Generally, 1) is used, and controlled via phy-mode. A value of
PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_RGMII_ID passed to the PHY driver means it will add
these delays.

You don't want both the MAC and the PHY adding delays.
