 +===== RGMII configuration =====
 +On MT7620A and likely other Ralink / Mediatek SOCs, the RGMII delay is set with the Port I control register in the GSW (gigabit switch) subsystem
 +
 +for boards with uboot and an available console (option 4?), the register can be read with the command
 +
 +    md 0x10117014 1
 +
 +and the following bits tell you the OEM bootloader / chip defaults
 +
 +|BIT(2)|RX no delay|
 +|BIT(3)|TX delay|
 +|BITS(16, 20)|PHY_BASE|
 +|BITS(24, 28)|PHY_DISABLE|
 +
 +For a complete explanation, look for the register 0x7014 in the MT7620 Programming Guide
 +
 +example:
 +
 +10117014: 1f08000c
 +
 +c --> 1100 --> TX delay only
 +
 +8 --> PHY_BASE address
 +
 +1f --> internal PHYs disabled
 +
 +
 +----
 +Remember: You have to read bits from right to left.
 +For example ''1f08000c'' in binary becomes ''00011111000010000000000000001100''
 +<code>
 +0001 1111 0000 1000 0000 0000 0000 1100
 +   |    |    |    |    |    |    |    |   
 +  28   24   20   16   12    8    4    0
