By referring to linux/phy.h, NA means not applicable. This surely
do not apply when RGMII is really in use.

I think no document declares RGMII must have all internal delays
of the PHY explicitly disabled. It just says RGMII.

I think the situation that RGMII is in use and PHY has the right to
decide whether to add delay or not surely matches "rgmii", and
to explicitly disable internal delays we need some other thing
like "rgmii-noid".
