The GENET controller on the Raspberry Pi 4 (2711) is typically
interfaced with an external Broadcom PHY via a RGMII electrical
interface. To make sure that delays are properly configured at the PHY
side, ensure that we get a chance to have the dedicated Broadcom PHY
driver (CONFIG_BROADCOM_PHY) enabled for this to happen.

I guess it can be interfaced to a different external PHY, too?

Yes, although this has not happened yet to the best of my knowledge.

Which means support for the BROADCOM_PHY is always included
on ARCH_BCM2835, even if a different PHY is used?

It is included by default on and can be deselected if needed, which is exactly what we want here, a sane default, but without the inflexibility of "select".

           This driver supports the built-in Ethernet MACs found in the
           Broadcom BCM7xxx Set Top Box family chipset.
