Do you mean defining 4 new bindings and their corresponding
phy_interface_t enum values? For example:

"rgmii-v2"
"rgmii-id-v2"
"rgmii-rxid-v2"
"rgmii-txid-v2"

        PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_RGMII_V2,
        PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_RGMII_ID_V2,
        PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_RGMII_RXID_V2,
        PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_RGMII_TXID_V2,

And then handling these new enums in the at803x and nb8800 drivers?

FWIW, PAD_MODE_GTX_CLK_DELAY is broken in tango5 (doesn't add any
delay). I'm considering removing MAC-side TX delay altogether.

Regards.
