Research direction

Start by reviewing the issue discussion and the prior-art mdio crate linked in the description. Compare the possible MDIO and MAC scopes, including MII/RMII/RGMII/SGMII, and determine whether either belongs in a new embedded-hal-mac crate. Done means an agreed trait scope and implementation direction are documented.

Description

Has there been any discussion on adding traits for MDIO or MAC interfaces? These are about the last common peripheral that I haven't been able to find any discourse about. It seems like there may be a place for an embedded-hal-mac crate.

MDIO is pretty simple and could probably mirror I2C. It is still useful to have even if a MAC interface is out of scope. There is some prior art here with the awesome mdio crate https://docs.rs/mdio/latest/mdio/

MAC is more complicated and might have some different possible implementations based on MII/RMII/RGMII/SGMII/etc
