Russell, PHY folks, any judgment on this one?

Qingfang is there a platform which require RGMII to be supported 
in upstream LTS branches? If there isn't you should re-target 
the patch at net-next and drop the Fixes tag. Not implementing
the entire spec is not considered a bug. Please clarify this
in the commit message.
