This change is motivated by the lager board which uses the r8a7790 SoC, an R-Car SoC. For this board setting the RMIIMODE register is necessary.

This patch assumes this is valid for all R-Car SoCs.

No, RMIIMODE register is not documented on R8A7778/9 SoCs and this location is described as reserved. How's it called in R8A7790 manual, CXR15?
It appears to be undocumented in the R8A7790 I have. Empirically it seems necessary for the lager/R8A7790.
I wonder where you got the info then (and what writing 1 to this
register means)...
To be honest I am entirely unsure of its relevance to other SoCs.
I wonder if a better approach would be to add a flag to platform data rather than struct sh_eth_cpu_data. This would allow the register to only be accessed on boards where it is known to be useful.
Maybe...
