the MII stuff is shared between many other drivers in the Linux kernel.
I've seen PCMCIA hardware that bitbangs some port to play around with
the
PHY registers. So, some generic bitbanging code with callbacks for the
bitsetting would be nice for them.

Have a look at the mii-tool program from the net-tools package!
