These values are dupes of the MII_xxxx constants from linux/mii.h.  It
would be clearer and more consistent to use those instead

These values are device specific so you would want to define them here.
Following the MII_xxxxx naming convention may be helpful.

Does this need to be global?  Isn't it really just to prevent
simultaneous access to the adapters PHY?  What if you have multiple
adapters installed?

Couldn't you use usbnet_getendpoints() here.  It will also pick up the
status pipe.

use MII_BMSR here instead of the magic value '1'.
