RMII), only a special case of MII with just those four signals not connected. As far I understand it, there is no need to configure the MAC for MII-Lite if the MAC input signals (RXER, CRS, COL) stay inactive. Because if missing COL (Collision), half duplex cannot be supported. The clock is limited to 25 MHz, thus no gigabit. Besides 100Mbps, also 10Mbps, full duplex is supported with 2.5 MHz MII clock. At least in the case of Broadcom PHYs, only the PHY must be explicitly told to switch to MII-Lite. No problem with the impossibility of half duplex, because all BroadR-Reach modes are full duplex only. In turn, the RMII has less data lines (only two) and the MAC needs to be configured differently so it is clearly a another mode.
