Not quite. I've argued that both CONFIG_MII and CONFIG_RMII are
pointless, but if they did have a purpose it would be to set up the link
between a MAC and a PHY on the MAC side. The bottom line is that if
CONFIGs like this are going to be used for hardware initialization they
need to be much more specific.
