Only for testing? So nobody should actually design a board to use MII
and use software to change the interface from RGMII to MII?

This does not seem to be a fix, it is a new feature. So please submit
to net-next, in two weeks time when it opens again.

Should there be some validation here with dp83869->mode?

DP83869_RGMII_COPPER_ETHERNET, DP83869_RGMII_SGMII_BRIDGE etc don't
make sense if MII is being used. DP83869_100M_MEDIA_CONVERT and maybe
DP83869_RGMII_100_BASE seem to be the only valid modes with MII?
