The general convention is that the MAC does not add delays, it leaves
it to the PHY. Probably 95% of boards are like this, and many MAC
drivers don't even add support for configuring their hardware delays,
it is not needed. Those that do, it is generally for fine tuning the
delays, being able to add/remove 100s of pico seconds, not the full
2us. This hardware cannot do that.

So i suggest you drop all this code, and just hard code the delay to
0ps.
