ethtool: Remove MII ioctls from TODO list
Ethernet drivers generally support the ethtool API now, and the mii,
mdio and phy libraries make it easy to do so using generic MDIO
registers. I see no point in adding a fallback here. Further,
using SIOCDEVPRIVATE with arbitrary drivers is a really bad idea.
