[En-Nut-Discussion] RFC: Make ethernet phy mode RMII the default

[Ole Reinhardt]

Hi Uwe,

in most designs, we normaly use RMII mode anyway, because it needs less
connections.

AFAIK MII mode is only needed for some AT91 platforms. So I would
suggest to make RMII mode the default for most platforms and keep MII as
default only for those AT91 drivers. What do you think?

Best regads,

Ole
