Good point, it is probably necessary to set the default RMII speed in 
miic_pre_init(), since miic_config will not do it if the link mode hasn't 
changed in the meantime. However, this is only an issue if the link isn't 
already up when miic_config() is called. If the link is up, then that means that 
miic_link_up() has already been called and has set the appropriate speed anyway.
