So if it's not clock skews and it probably isn't equalization either,
since to my knowledge RGMII MACs won't have because they are parallel
and relatively low-speed interfaces, then we need to know what exactly
it is that you calibrate.
As you know, in a serial interface you are likely to find a BIST
function implemented in the SERDES, this would basically offload to
hardware the task of sending and decoding test patterns such as PRBS-11.
With RGMII, you are less likely to see a BIST in hardware, hence the
manual injection of packets that you need to do from software. Whatever
solution you end up choosing, it would be nice if it created a nicely
structured UAPI that could be extended in the future for other types of
electrical interface selftests.

It probably doesn't make any difference.
