Uh, ok.  I'll readily admit that network drivers are not my thing, but all
the routines which were commented out in mii.h do is call through the
function pointers mdio_read and mdio_write which are implemented in each
individual driver.  The seem like just common code to me, which several
drivers use, such as the 8139too.c.  The only external routines called out
of the mii.c code are:
- netif_carrier_ok()
- netif_carrier_on()
- netif_carrier_off()

which all seem to be used in tp3.c.  Am I missing something?
