checkpatch: check for comment explaining rgmii(|-rxid|-txid) PHY modes



Historically, the RGMII PHY modes specified in Device Trees have been
used inconsistently, often referring to the usage of delays on the PHY
side rather than describing the board; many drivers still implement this
incorrectly.

Require a comment in Devices Trees using these modes (usually mentioning
that the delay is realized on the PCB), so we can avoid adding more
incorrect uses (or will at least notice which drivers still need to be
fixed).
