ETRAX_ETHERNET selects ETHERNET and MII, which depend on NETDEVICES.
I don't think anything should select NETDEVICES, so make it a
dependency. It also doesn't need to select or depend on ETHERNET,
which has nothing to do with the Ethernet library functions.
BPCTL selects MII, which depends on NETDEVICES. But everything in the
drivers/staging/silicom directory is related to net devices, so make
NET_VENDOR_SILICOM depend on NETDEVICES and remove the now-redundant
dependencies on NET.

All drivers that select MII also need to select NET_CORE because MII
depends on it. This is a bit ridiculous because NET_CORE is just a
menu option that doesn't enable any code by itself.
There is also no need for it to be a visible option, since its users
all select it.

The Silicom Bypass Network Interface Cards (NICs) are network cards with
paired ports (2 or 4). The pairs either act as a "wire" allowing the
network packets to pass or insert the device in between the two ports.
When paired with the on-board hardware watchdog or other failsafe, they
provide high availability for the network in the face of software
outages or maintenance.
