support in mii(4):
- Merge generic flow control advertisement (which can be enabled by
passing by MIIF_DOPAUSE to mii_attach(9)) and parsing support from
NetBSD into mii_physubr.c and ukphy_subr.c. Unlike as in NetBSD,
IFM_FLOW isn't implemented as a global option via the "don't care
mask" but instead as a media specific option this. This has the
following advantages:
o allows flow control advertisement with autonegotiation to be
turned on and off via ifconfig(8) with the default typically
being off (though MIIF_FORCEPAUSE has been added causing flow
control to be always advertised, allowing to easily MFC this
changes for drivers that previously used home-grown support for
flow control that behaved that way without breaking POLA)
o allows to deal with PHY drivers where flow control advertisement
with manual selection doesn't work or at least isn't implemented,
like it's the case with brgphy(4), e1000phy(4) and ip1000phy(4),
by setting MIIF_NOMANPAUSE
o the available combinations of media options are readily available
from the `ifconfig -m` output
- Add IFM_FLOW to IFM_SHARED_OPTION_DESCRIPTIONS and IFM_ETH_RXPAUSE
and IFM_ETH_TXPAUSE to IFM_SUBTYPE_ETHERNET_OPTION_DESCRIPTIONS so
these are understood by ifconfig(8).
o Make the master/slave support in mii(4) actually usable:
- Change IFM_ETH_MASTER from being implemented as a global option via
the "don't care mask" to a media specific one as it actually is only
applicable to IFM_1000_T to date.
- Let mii_phy_setmedia() set GTCR_MAN_MS in IFM_1000_T slave mode to
actually configure manually selected slave mode (like we also do in
the PHY specific implementations).
- Add IFM_ETH_MASTER to IFM_SUBTYPE_ETHERNET_OPTION_DESCRIPTIONS so it
is understood by ifconfig(8).
o Switch bge(4), bce(4), msk(4), nfe(4) and stge(4) along with brgphy(4),
e1000phy(4) and ip1000phy(4) to use the generic flow control support
instead of home-grown solutions via IFM_FLAGs. This includes changing
these PHY drivers and smcphy(4) to no longer unconditionally advertise
support for flow control but only if the selected media has IFM_FLOW
set (or MIIF_FORCEPAUSE is set) and implemented for these media variants,
i.e. typically only for copper.
o Switch brgphy(4), ciphy(4), e1000phy(4) and ip1000phy(4) to report and
set IFM_1000_T master mode via IFM_ETH_MASTER instead of via IFF_LINK0
and some IFM_FLAGn.
o Switch brgphy(4) to add at least the the supported copper media based on
the contents of the BMSR via mii_phy_add_media() instead of hardcoding
them. The latter approach seems to have developed historically, besides
causing unnecessary code duplication it was also undesirable because
brgphy_mii_phy_auto() already based the capability advertisement on the
contents of the BMSR though.
o Let brgphy(4) set IFM_1000_T master mode on all supported PHY and not
just BCM5701. Apparently this was a misinterpretation of a workaround
in the Linux tg3 driver; BCM5701 seem to require RGPHY_1000CTL_MSE and
BRGPHY_1000CTL_MSC to be set when configuring autonegotiation but
this doesn't mean we can't set these as well on other PHYs for manual
media selection.
o Let ukphy_status() report IFM_1000_T master mode via IFM_ETH_MASTER so
IFM_1000_T master mode support now is generally available with all PHY
drivers.
o Don't let e1000phy(4) set master/slave bits for IFM_1000_SX as it's
not applicable there.

MFC after: never
replace mii_phy_probe() altogether. Compared to the latter the advantages
of mii_attach() are:
- intended to be called multiple times in order to attach PHYs in multiple
passes (f.e. in order to only use sub-ranges of the 0 to MII_NPHY - 1
range)
- being able to pass along the capability mask from the NIC to the PHY
drivers
- being able to specify at which address (phyloc) to probe for a PHY
(instead of always probing at all addresses from 0 to MII_NPHY - 1)
- being able to specify which PHY instance (offloc) to attach
- being able to pass along MIIF_* flags from the NIC to the PHY drivers
(f.e. as required to indicated to the PHY drivers that flow control is
supported by the NIC driver, which actually is the motivation for this
change).
While at it, I used the opportunity to get rid of some hacks in mii(4)
like miibus_probe() generally doing work besides sheer probing and the
"EVIL HACK" (which will vanish entirely along with mii_phy_probe()) by
passing the struct ifnet pointer via an argument of mii_attach() as well
as to fix some resource leaks in mii(4) in case something fails.
Commits which will update the PHY drivers to honor the MII flags passed
down from the NIC drivers and take advantage of mii_attach() to get rid
of certain types of hacks in NIC and PHY drivers as well as a conversion
of the remaining uses of mii_phy_probe() will follow shortly.

MII-compliant PHY drivers. Many 10/100 ethernet NICs available today
either use an MII transceiver or have built-in transceivers that can
be programmed using an MII interface. It makes sense then to separate
this support out into common code instead of duplicating it in all
of the NIC drivers. The mii code also handles all of the media
detection, selection and reporting via the ifmedia interface.
This is basically the same code from NetBSD's /sys/dev/mii, except
it's been adapted to FreeBSD's bus architecture. The advantage to this
is that it automatically allows everything to be turned into a
loadable module. There are some common functions for use in drivers
once an miibus has been attached (mii_mediachg(), mii_pollstat(),
mii_tick()) as well as individual PHY drivers. There is also a
generic driver for all PHYs that aren't handled by a specific driver.
It's possible to do this because all 10/100 PHYs implement the same
general register set in addition to their vendor-specific register
sets, so for the most part you can use one driver for pretty much
any PHY. There are a couple of oddball exceptions though, hence
the need to have specific drivers.
There are two layers: the generic "miibus" layer and the PHY driver
layer. The drivers are child devices of "miibus" and the "miibus" is
a child of a given NIC driver. The "miibus" code and the PHY drivers
can actually be compiled and kldoaded as completely separate modules
or compiled together into one module. For the moment I'm using the
latter approach since the code is relatively small.
Currently there are only three PHY drivers here: the generic driver,
the built-in 3Com XL driver and the NS DP83840 driver. I'll be adding
others later as I convert various NIC drivers to use this code.
I realize that I'm cvs adding this stuff instead of importing it
onto a separate vendor branch, but in my opinion the import approach
doesn't really offer any significant advantage: I'm going to be
maintaining this stuff and writing my own PHY drivers one way or
the other.
