Potential problem in fec.c for 8xx

When using MII, the interrupt for link status changes
is enabled before the PHY type has been detected.
If a link status change happens before PHY is detected,
you will get kernel panic in mii_link_interrupt
because the MII functions are undefined.
The correct way to do this would be to move the
enabling of MII interrupts from fec_enet_init
to mii_discover_phy3.
I can prepare a patch if someone points me to
the correct version to patch.
