Michael

This is a Micrel Proprietary protocol. So we should reflect this in
the name. MII_ADDR_MICREL_SMI? Why the 0? Are there different
versions? Maybe replace all SMI0 with MICREL_SMI in mdio-bitbang.c

When i look at this, i don't see how a normal MDIO bus driver is going
to support this. Only the bit banging driver, or maybe a Micrel MDIO
bus master hardware driver. So i think the diagram should be placed
into mdio-bitbang.c, and it would be nice to add a diagram of standard
SMI.
