+ value is 0, the maximum value is 3000, and it can be specified in 200ps
+ steps, *but* these values are in not fact what you get because this chip's
+ skew values actually increase in 120ps steps, starting from -840ps. The
+ incorrect values came from an error in the original KSZ9021 datasheet
+ before it was corrected in revision 1.2 (Feb 2014), but it is too late to
+ change the driver now because of the many existing device trees that have
+ been created using values that go up in increments of 200.
+
+ The following table shows the actual skew delay you will get for each of the
+ possible devicetree values, and the number that will be programmed into the
+ corresponding pad skew register:
