pointers. A structure is more readable and less error-prone. It
also avoids problems when a function pointer doesn't have the
same width as a void pointer.
ifmedia_init() invocation. IFM_IMASK makes only sense here when all of
the maxium of 32 PHYs on each one MII bus support disjoint sets of media,
which generally isn't the case (though it would be nice if we had a way
to let NIC drivers indicate that for the few card models where the PHY
configuration is known/fixed and IFM_IMASK actually makes sense).
- Add and use a miibus_print_child() for the bus_print_child method which
additionally prints the PHY number (which actually is the PHY address)
so one can figure out the media instance <-> PHY number mapping from the
PHY driver attach output. This is intented to be usefull in situations
where the addresses of the PHYs on the bus are known (f.e. of internal/
integrated PHYs) so one can feed the appropriate media instance number
to ifconfig(8) (with the upcoming change for ifconfig(8)).
This is more or less inspired by the NetBSD mii_print().
I missed. Since I did no rearrange any softcs, casting the result of
device_get_softc() to (struct ifnet **) and derefrencing it yeilds a
pointer to the ifp. This makes at least vr(4) nics work.
NetBSD got activated. NetBSD has an additional change in
their mii.c rev 1.26 which got missed with that merger:
: When probing for a PHY, look at the EXTSTAT bit in the BMSR, as well,
: not just the media mask. This prevents PHYs/TBIs that only support
: Gigabit media from slipping through the cracks.
With this GE only ones like from the SK-9844 are detected again.

a more complete subsystem, and removes the knowlege of how things are
implemented from the drivers. Include locking around filter ops, so a
module like aio will know when not to be unloaded if there are outstanding
knotes using it's filter ops.
Currently, it uses the MTX_DUPOK even though it is not always safe to
aquire duplicate locks. Witness currently doesn't support the ability
to discover if a dup lock is ok (in some cases).

provide the corresponding defines for the valid states.
o The mii_linkchg() callback updates the ifi_link_state field
and calls rt_ifmsg() to notify listeners on the routing socket
in addition to the kqueue KNOTE.

This makes it easier for us to change how arbitrary data structures are
associated with a device_t. Eventually we won't be modifying device_t
to add additional pointers for ivars, softc data etc.

ones were made by Lucent). The Broadcom chip also appears to use an
internal PHY made by Broadcom which uses the Broadcom OUI. This is different
from previous ASICs which always returned 0 in the PHY ID registers.
To account for this, I added the necessary ID values for the Broadcom
PHY so that it can be detected and attached using the 3Com PHY driver
instead of defaulting to the generic one.
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.
