Hi Alexandre

                        macb0: ethernet@f0028000 {
                                phy-mode = "rgmii";
                                #address-cells = <1>;
                                #size-cells = <0>;
                                status = "okay";

                                ethernet-phy@7 {
                                        reg = <0x7>;
                                };
                        };

So DT says it wants rgmii. How are the delays being added? Could the
bootloader be configuring the PHY into rgmii-id mode, which is now
getting cleared? Or by strapping of pins on the PHY?

Also, looking at macb_main.c is seen:

       if (!(bp->caps & MACB_CAPS_USRIO_DISABLED)) {
                val = 0;
                if (bp->phy_interface == PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_RGMII)
                        val = GEM_BIT(RGMII);
                else if (bp->phy_interface == PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_RMII &&
                         (bp->caps & MACB_CAPS_USRIO_DEFAULT_IS_MII_GMII))
                        val = MACB_BIT(RMII);
                else if (!(bp->caps & MACB_CAPS_USRIO_DEFAULT_IS_MII_GMII))
                        val = MACB_BIT(MII);

                if (bp->caps & MACB_CAPS_USRIO_HAS_CLKEN)
                        val |= MACB_BIT(CLKEN);

                macb_or_gem_writel(bp, USRIO, val);
        }

I don't know if this applies for your hardware, but if you tried
fixing the PHY by setting phy-mode to "rgmii-id", it could be macb
then did not set GEM_BIT(RGMII) and so broken even more?

Rather than bp->phy_interface == PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_RGMII,
phy_interface_mode_is_rgmii() might work better.
