BPi Pro needs TX and RX delay for Gbit to work reliable and avoid high
packet loss rates. The realtek phy driver overrides the settings of the
pull ups for the delays, so fix this for BananaPro.
    
Fix the phy-mode description to correctly reflect this so that the
implementation doesn't reconfigure the delays incorrectly. This
happened with commit bbc4d71d6354 ("net: phy: realtek: fix rtl8211e
rx/tx delay config").

Fixes: 10662a33dcd9 ("ARM: dts: sun7i: Add dts file for Bananapro board")

Applied since it's a fix simple enough, but please provide a changelog
between versions.
v3 added the correct fixes tag, where the problem originated (initial commit
of banana pro device tree). That worked in the past until a change in
the phy device driver for realtek phy on banana pro overrode the
phyical configuration of the hardware pull-ups.

v4 added the commit which implemented that driver change (shamelessly stolen
from the commit of the fix of the identical problem on the banana pi)

Thanks,
 greetings
