Hi Kory,
Thanks for your patch!

Do you mean ethernet-controller.yaml?

Does this fix an actual problem for you?

Note that in accordance with the comment above, the code section
below is only present to support old DTBs. Contemporary DTBs rely
on the now mandatory "rx-internal-delay-ps" and "tx-internal-delay-ps"
properties instead.
Hence changing this code has no effect on DTS files as supplied with
the kernel, but may have ill effects on DTB files in the field, which
rely on the current behavior.
