You are doing the same as phy_do_ioctl(), but for the old mii

sense to add usbnet_mii_ioctl_running()?

Hi, Andrew,

It makes sense in principle, but after applying my patch to smsc95xx
to use phy_do_ioctl_running, smsc75xx is the only driver that would
use such a function, so it would add complexity rather than removing
it.
