I'd prefer if we didn't unnecessarily proliferate phy-specific status
code.  Does the generic mii_parse_sr() function not work for the
RTL8211B?  If so, this is fine.  Otherwise, let's not have 10
different versions of the same code, just because many PHYs have their
own non-standard registers.

Other than that, I'm fine with this, and looking forward to seeing
Ben's PHY rework.  :)
