Thanks for the update!

This introduces the same issues (the "workaround" state below) we had
with ravb before.
9b23203c32ee02cd ("ravb: Mask PHY mode to avoid inserting delays twice")
was the workaround,
a6f51f2efa742df0 ("ravb: Add support for explicit internal clock delay
configuration")
was the final fix.

Do we really want to repeat that mistake?
