[mii] Separate concepts of MII interface and MII device
We currently have no generic concept of a PHY address, since all
existing implementations simply hardcode the PHY address within the
MII access methods.
A bit-bashing MII interface will need to be provided with an explicit
PHY address in order to generate the correct waveform. Allow for this
by separating out the concept of a MII device (i.e. a specific PHY
address attached to a particular MII interface).

Most devices expose at least the link up/down status via a bit in a
MAC register, since the MAC generally already needs to know whether or
not the link is up. Some devices (e.g. the SMSC75xx USB NIC) expose
this information to software only via the MII registers.
Provide a generic mii_check_link() implementation to check the BMSR
and report the link status via netdev_link_{up,down}().

iPXE provides no support for manually configuring the link speed.
Provide a generic routine which should be able to reset any MII/GMII
PHY and enable autonegotiation.
