configured down. Formerly, IPMI communication was lost whenever the
interface was not up. The reason was that the BCE_EMAC_MODE
register was not configured with the correct media settings. There
are two parts to the fix.
First, resetting the chip in bce_reset() causes the BCE_EMAC_MODE
register to be initialized to a default value that does not
necessarily correspond to the actual media settings. The fix
implemented here is a bit of a hack. Ideally, at the end of
bce_reset() we would poll the PHY to determine the negotiated media,
and then we would set the BCE_EMAC_MODE register accordingly. That
is difficult, since the PHY is abstracted behind the MII layer and is
not supposed to be queried directly from the MAC driver. Instead,
we read the BCE_EMAC_MODE register at the beginning of bce_reset()
and then restore its media bits to their original values before
returning. If IPMI is up and running, then the link is already
established and the BCE_EMAC_MODE register is already set appropriately
when bce_reset() is called. If IPMI is not running, no harm is
done by preserving the BCE_EMAC_MODE settings. The driver will set
the register properly once the interface is configured up and link
is established.
Second, bce_miibus_statchg() is sometimes called when the link is
down. In that case, the reported media settings are invalid.
Formerly, the driver used them anyway to setup the BCE_EMAC_MODE
register. We now avoid changing any MAC registers unless link is
active and the reported media settings are valid.

controller to perform MDIO type accesses to a remote transceiver
using message pages defined through MRBE(multirate backplane
ethernet). It's used in blade systems(e.g Dell Blade m610) which
are connected to pass-through blades rather than traditional
switches.
This change directly manipulates firmware's mailboxes to control
remote PHY such that it does not use mii(4). Alternatively, as
David said, it could be implemented in brgphy(4) by creating a fake
PHY and let brgphy(4) do necessary mii accesses and bce(4) can
implement mailbox accesses based on the type of brgphy(4)'s mii
accesses. Personally, I think it would make brgphy(4) hard to
maintain since it would have to access many bce(4) registers in
brgphy(4). Given that there are users who are suffering from lack
of remote PHY support, it would be better to get working system
rather than waiting for complete/perfect implementation.

o Add check for actually resolved speed in miibus_statchg callback
instead of blindly reprogramming BCE_EMAC_MODE register. The
callback may be called multiple times(e.g. link UP, link
transition, auto-negotiate complete etc) while auto-negotiation
is in progress. All unresolved link state changes are ignored
now and setting BCE_EMAC_MODE after link establishment is done
once.
o bce(4) is careful enough not to drive MII_TICK if driver got a
valid link. To detect lost link, bce(4) relied on link state
change interrupt and if driver see the interrupt, it forced to
drive MII_TICK by calling bce_tick() in interrupt handler.
Because bce(4) generates multiple link state change interrupts
while auto-negotiation is in progress, bce_tick() would be
called multiple times and this resulted in generating multiple
link UP/DOWN messages.
With this change, bce_tick() is not called in interrupt handler
anymore such that miibus_statchg callback handles link state
changes with consistent manner.

(reporting IFM_LOOP based on BMCR_LOOP is left in place though as
it might provide useful for debugging). For most mii(4) drivers it
was unclear whether the PHYs driven by them actually support
loopback or not. Moreover, typically loopback mode also needs to
be activated on the MAC, which none of the Ethernet drivers using
mii(4) implements. Given that loopback media has no real use (and
obviously hardly had a chance to actually work) besides for driver
development (which just loopback mode should be sufficient for
though, i.e one doesn't necessary need support for loopback media)
support for it is just dropped as both NetBSD and OpenBSD already
did quite some time ago.
- Let mii_phy_add_media() also announce the support of IFM_NONE.
- Restructure the PHY entry points to use a structure of entry points
instead of discrete function pointers, and extend this to include
a "reset" entry point. Make sure any PHY-specific reset routine is
always used, and provide one for lxtphy(4) which disables MII
interrupts (as is done for a few other PHYs we have drivers for).
This includes changing NIC drivers which previously just called the
generic mii_phy_reset() to now actually call the PHY-specific reset
routine, which might be crucial in some cases. While at it, the
redundant checks in these NIC drivers for mii->mii_instance not being
zero before calling the reset routines were removed because as soon
as one PHY driver attaches mii->mii_instance is incremented and we
hardly can end up in their media change callbacks etc if no PHY driver
has attached as mii_attach() would have failed in that case and not
attach a miibus(4) instance.
Consequently, NIC drivers now no longer should call mii_phy_reset()
directly, so it was removed from EXPORT_SYMS.
- Add a mii_phy_dev_attach() as a companion helper to mii_phy_dev_probe().
The purpose of that function is to perform the common steps to attach
a PHY driver instance and to hook it up to the miibus(4) instance and to
optionally also handle the probing, addition and initialization of the
supported media. So all a PHY driver without any special requirements
has to do in its bus attach method is to call mii_phy_dev_attach()
along with PHY-specific MIIF_* flags, a pointer to its PHY functions
and the add_media set to one. All PHY drivers were updated to take
advantage of mii_phy_dev_attach() as appropriate. Along with these
changes the capability mask was added to the mii_softc structure so
PHY drivers taking advantage of mii_phy_dev_attach() but still
handling media on their own do not need to fiddle with the MII attach
arguments anyway.
- Keep track of the PHY offset in the mii_softc structure. This is done
for compatibility with NetBSD/OpenBSD.
- Keep track of the PHY's OUI, model and revision in the mii_softc
structure. Several PHY drivers require this information also after
attaching and previously had to wrap their own softc around mii_softc.
NetBSD/OpenBSD also keep track of the model and revision on their
mii_softc structure. All PHY drivers were updated to take advantage
as appropriate.
- Convert the mebers of the MII data structure to unsigned where
appropriate. This is partly inspired by NetBSD/OpenBSD.
- According to IEEE 802.3-2002 the bits actually have to be reversed
when mapping an OUI to the MII ID registers. All PHY drivers and
miidevs where changed as necessary. Actually this now again allows to
largely share miidevs with NetBSD, which fixed this problem already
9 years ago. Consequently miidevs was synced as far as possible.
- Add MIIF_NOMANPAUSE and mii_phy_flowstatus() calls to drivers that
weren't explicitly converted to support flow control before. It's
unclear whether flow control actually works with these but typically
it should and their net behavior should be more correct with these
changes in place than without if the MAC driver sets MIIF_DOPAUSE.

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.
