Nothing says delays are only positive. So you could have rgmii-id or
rgmii-rxid and a rx-internal-delay-ps of -150, if you need less than
1.9ns.

As i said, rx-internal-delay-ps is used to fine tune the delay.

What MAC is this? It seems very oddly designed, getting close to
broken. I've not seen any other MAC/PHY combination need anything like
this.

No, they are individual boolean properties, so should be kept as they
are. But i really think somebody should be looking deep into the MAC
design to understand why it is like this, and if the MAC can sort out
this mess itself.
