As ravb_dmac_init() is called in multiple places I don't think it worth
configuring delays more than once in ravb_open().

Moreover TX/RX delay is something specific to the MAC-PHY interface (and
could be influenced also by the wiring length b/w MAC and PHY).

Just because it is in the DMAC address space I don't think it worth having
it in ravb_dmac_init() (for the above mentioned reasons).
