I just tried changing rx-internal-delay-ps & tx-internal-delay-ps on conditional
basis like above in the ethernet-controller.yaml and it passed 'make
dt_binding_check' as well. 

It would be like below if existing *-internal-delay-ps are removed from
ethernet-controller.yaml.

allOf:
  - if:
      properties:
        phy-mode:
          contains:
            enum:
              - rgmii
              - rgmii-rxid
              - rgmii-txid
              - rgmii-id
            then:
              properties:
                rx-internal-delay-ps:
                  description:
                    RGMII Receive Clock Delay defined in pico seconds.This is 
                    used for controllers that have configurable RX internal 
                    delays. If this property is present then the MAC applies 
                    the RX delay.
                tx-internal-delay-ps:
                  description:
                    RGMII Transmit Clock Delay defined in pico seconds.This is
                    used for controllers that have configurable TX internal
                    delays. If this property is present then the MAC applies
                    the TX delay.   

After the above changes, these two properties descriptions are different compare
to other properties. So i just wanted to know whether i am following the right
approach or are there any other proposal available? Thanks.
