Hm... I fail to see why such a change is needed.

Sure. The plan (to make this architecture independent) makes a lot
sense.

Why are these changes necessary?

Why cannot you simple add this to your board config file:

        #define MDIO_ACTIVE     mii_mdio_active(1)
        #define MDIO(x)         mii_mdio_set(x)
        #define MDC(x)          mii_mdc_set(x)
        ...

?

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
