Please could you say more about what mii-lite is. Rather than adding a
bool DT property, i'm asking myself should we add interface mode for
it?

Is it a mode of its own? MII normally means Fast Ethernet, 100Mbps. Is
that what MII-Lite supports? How does it differ from RMII? Should we
be calling this PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_LMII?
