    mii: add read-modify-write option to mii command · a095f047

    When accessing PHY registers it is often desirable to only update
    selected bits, so it is necessary to first read the current value
    before writing back an modified value with the relevant bits
    updated.
    
    To simplify this and to allow such operations to be incorporated
    into simple shell scripts propose adding a 'modify' option to the
    existing mii command, which takes a mask indicating the bits to
    be updated in addition to a data value containing the new bits,
    ie, <updated> = (<data> & <mask>) | (<current> & ~<mask>).
