The current deprecated list is: ae, bm, cs, de, dme, ed, ep, ex, fe,
pcn, sf, sn, tl, tx, txp, vx, wb, xe
The list as refined as part of FCP-0101. Per the FCP, devices may be
removed from the deprecation list if enough users are found or they are
converted to iflib.

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.

(bus_generic_driver_added(9) since r52045 and bus_generic_print_child(9)
since r52045) but even recently added device drivers do this unnecessarily.

take advantage of it instead of duplicating it. This reduces the size of
the i386 GENERIC kernel by about 4k. The only potential in-tree user left
unconverted is xe(4), which generally should be changed to use miibus(4)
instead of implementing PHY handling on its own, as otherwise it makes not
much sense to add a dependency on miibus(4)/mii_bitbang(4) to xe(4) just
for the MII bitbang'ing code. The common MII bitbang'ing code also is
useful in the embedded space for using GPIO pins to implement MII access.
- Based on lessons learnt with dc(4) (see r185750), add bus barriers to the
MII bitbang read and write functions of the other drivers converted in
order to ensure the intended ordering. Given that register access via an
index register as well as register bank/window switching is subject to the
same problem, also add bus barriers to the respective functions of smc(4),
tl(4) and xl(4).
- Sprinkle some const.

the NIC drivers as well as the PHY drivers to take advantage of the
mii_attach() introduced in r213878 to get rid of certain hacks. For
the most part these were:
- Artificially limiting miibus_{read,write}reg methods to certain PHY
addresses; we now let mii_attach() only probe the PHY at the desired
address(es) instead.
- PHY drivers setting MIIF_* flags based on the NIC driver they hang
off from, partly even based on grabbing and using the softc of the
parent; we now pass these flags down from the NIC to the PHY drivers
via mii_attach(). This got us rid of all such hacks except those of
brgphy() in combination with bce(4) and bge(4), which is way beyond
what can be expressed with simple flags.
While at it, I took the opportunity to change the NIC drivers to pass
up the error returned by mii_attach() (previously by mii_phy_probe())
and unify the error message used in this case where and as appropriate
as mii_attach() actually can fail for a number of reasons, not just
because of no PHY(s) being present at the expected address(es).

IF_ADDR_UNLOCK() across network device drivers when accessing the
per-interface multicast address list, if_multiaddrs. This will
allow us to change the locking strategy without affecting our driver
programming interface or binary interface.
For two wireless drivers, remove unnecessary locking, since they
don't actually access the multicast address list.
