Subject: Re: [PATCH 2/2] usbnet: use MII hooks only if CONFIG_MII is enabled

This should replace BOTH of Randy's patches. It addresses all the
issues I've heard raised, and resolves the regresssion introduced
when adding the mcs7830 minidriver.

============ CUT HERE
Fix mcs7830 patch
The recent mcs7830 update to make the MII support sharable goofed various
pre-existing configurations in two ways:
- it made the usbnet infrastructure reference MII symbols even
when they're not needed in the kernel being built
- it didn't enable MII along with the mcs7830 minidriver
This patch fixes these two problems.
However, there does seem to be a Kconfig reverse dependency bug in that MII
gets wrongly enabled in some cases (like USBNET=y and USBNET_MII=n); I think
I've noticed that same problem in other situations too. So the result can
mean kernels being bloated by stuff that's needlessly enabled ... better
than wrongly being disabled, but contributing to bloat.
