[U-Boot] miiphy.h vs linux/mii.h

[Mike Frysinger]

in reviewing some phy code i noticed that there's quite a good bit of 
duplication between miiphy.h and linux/mii.h.  i imagine this is largely 
historical as miiphy.h dates back quite a long time, but moving forward, 
should we just do a mass conversion from the u-boot specific miiphy.h defines 
to the more common linux/mii.h defines ?  should be easy to do for most with a 
few sed statements ...

I started down this path a while ago and then got distracted...  When I last
checked, the linux/mii.h was quite out of date wrt the kernel.org version,
so if doing this we should update first.  I agree that the current state is
confusing and that miiphy is mainly a subset of linux.mii, with the same
numbers but different mnemonics.  Like you say, a simple sed script should
do the trick.

Ben
