natsemi: Add support for using MII port with no PHY
This patch provides code paths which allow the natsemi driver to use the external MII port on the chip but ignore any PHYs that may be attached to it. The link state will be left as it was when the driver started and can be configured via ethtool. Any PHYs that are present can be accessed via the MII ioctl()s. This is useful for systems where the device is connected without a PHY or where either information or actions outside the scope of the driver are required in order to use the PHYs.
