The current master fails to build some Allwinner H5 boards, due to exceeding the U-Boot proper size limit we currently have still in place. This affects:

- nanopi_neo_plus2_defconfig
- orangepi_pc2_defconfig
- orangepi_prime_defconfig
- orangepi_zero_plus2_defconfig
To workaround this issue, a left-over low hanging fruit is to disable the MII *command*, which is probably only useful for debugging and not needed for a normal boot flow, even when booting via network (PXE/TFTP).
Allow to de-select CMD_MII, even when the distro default enables it. Then disable it explicitly in the affected board's defconfigs. This makes all Allwinner ARMv8 boards build again.

Hi,
my sincere apologies for this ugly hack (and I welcome any nicer solution!), but we are running out of silver bullets for this particular problem and this command seems both easy to give up and worthwhile in terms of code size savings (~11KB). The "default n if ..." doesn't seem to work with "imply", so I needed to disable it in each of the affected defconfigs. Please let me know if there is a better solution.
Can we not move the env location now? Thanks!
