mfiutil(8) in theory can work on devices attached to mrsas(4) but
mrsas(4) is missing the FreeBSD mfi(4) ioctl support. Once that
support is added to mrsas(4) then mrsasutil(8) can manage mrsas(4)
attached devices. So this commit depends on that. When mrsasutil(8)
is run it automatically opens /dev/mrsas0 instead of /dev/mfi0.
Add -D <device> and -t <type> flag to optionally specify mrsas or mfi to
work with the existing -u <unit>. Device is the device node with or
without /dev/

Mainly focus on files that use BSD 2-Clause license, however the tool I
was using misidentified many licenses so this was mostly a manual - error
prone - task.
The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.
No functional change intended.

user to set the BBU and autolearn modes when the firmware supports it,
and add a subcommand which kicks off a battery relearn.

Controller firmware can also be flashed.
This does not replace MegaCLI, found in ports, as that is officially sanctioned
and supported by LSI and includes vastly more functionality. However, mfiutil
is open source and guaranteed to provide basic functionality, which can be
especially useful if you have a problem and can't get MegaCLI to work.
