In both Linux and U-Boot, the error (warning) message:
    RGMII mode without internal TX delay unsupported; please fix your
Device Tree
only indicates that the device-tree should be updated to use 'rgmii-id'
instead of 'rgmii-rxid'. The functionality however remains unaffected. The
current Linux device-tree patch is not really fixing an issue from a
functionality perspective, and the same holds true for U-Boot.

I realize however that a DT sync patch could (should) have been posted by
me to the U-Boot mailing list after this patch had been merged to Linux
instead of waiting for the periodic DT sync.
