This is a delay between the transmit data lines and the transmit clock on a
RGMII interface. Based on PCB designs, this is something that may have to
be configured to align clock and data lines in a way that does not violate
timings and causes packet losses between the MAC and the PHY. These delays
are not valid when a RGMII interface operates at 10 or 100Mbits/sec since
the clock becomes slow enough the rise and fall times of the data lines are
negligable.

What you are referring to here is interrupt coalescing, which is different
and implemented at the Ethernet MAC and DMA engine levels and not all
controllers support that.
