Could you be a bit more specific about what published means?

DTs like those ones:
* https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/arch/arm64/boot/dts/allwinner/sun55i-a527-cubie-a5e.dts?h=v7.3-rc4#n88

On A523/T527, only gmac1 is supported by the driver addressed in this
series. gmac0 is another (dwmac) driver.

If I take the 1st example

&gmac1 {
	phy-mode = "rgmii-id";
	phy-handle = <&ext_rgmii1_phy>;
	phy-supply = <&reg_cldo4>;

	tx-internal-delay-ps = <300>;
	rx-internal-delay-ps = <400>;

	status = "okay";
};

If the information we've got about the A523 delay steps are correct, the
actual values would be:
* tx: 540ps
* rx: 2120ps

So I suppose in this case, the phy-mode is more likely to be rgmii-txid,
isn't it ?
