The Ethernet PHY on the A31 Hummingbird has the RX and TX delays
enabled on the PHY, using pull-ups on the RXDLY and TXDLY pins.

Fix the phy-mode description to correct 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").
Personally I think they should revert this commit, and consider other
solution.

This commit breaks everything.
Previously broken driver allowed inproper DT to work, so you have to
fix 
everything eventually.
There is no "improper DT" if it's already shipped, DT should suffer driver
change, not changed to match driver.

I think at least Fedora tends to ship a DT with a system image that will
not get updated when kernel gets updated.
Plus side, there is no need to have hack for Pine64 Plus ethernet
anymore.

Best regards,
Jernej
