So far all GBit users of the sun8i-emac driver were using the "rgmii" PHY mode, even though this turns out to be mostly wrong. It just worked because the PHY driver doesn't do the proper setup (yet). In fact for most boards the "rgmii-id" or "rgmii-txid" PHY modes are the correct ones.
To allow the DTs to describe the phy-mode correctly, and to stay compatible with Linux, at least allow those other RGMII modes in the driver.
This avoids breakage if mainline DTs will be synced with U-Boot.
An almost identical patch (f1239d8aa84d) was merged into the Linux driver and has been backported to stable kernels.
