This change is required to get GBIT Ethernet to work reliably on my board. Without CONFIG_GMAC_TX_DELAY=4, the connection suffers severe packet loss and SSH becomes unusable.

I have also tried CONFIG_GMAC_TX_DELAY=3, which still yielded 11-13% packet loss.
Hello,
unfortunately this change doesn't solve the gigabit issues on my LIME2 - it even seems to make them worse on my board.
Sometimes I wonder if we don't need to make a way to make this tweakable at run time instead. On my board I forget what the setting is that makes it mostly usable, but it's not the default one for sure.
