This is really awkward and against what we do in any other driver.
Lots of PCI ethernet drivers use the MII code but have non-MII variants,
and I'd expect usb code to do the same. If you really need to squeeze
the last bytes out of usbnet for some embedded thing add a CONFIG_USB_NET_MII
opention and explain in the help text which devices require it. Otherwise
a normal user has no way to find out why his mii-requiring usb device
randomly stopped working.
