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.

interface also has such connectors.
- In tl_attach() unify three different ways of obtaining the device and
vendor IDs and remove the now obsolete tl_dinfo from tl_softc.
- Given that tlphy(4) only handles the integrated PHYs of NICs driven by
tl(4) make it only probe on the latter.
- Switch mlphy(4) and tlphy(4) to use mii_phy_add_media()/mii_phy_setmedia().
- Simplify looking for the respective companion PHY in mlphy(4) and tlphy(4)
by ignoring the native one by just comparing the device_t's directly rather
than the device name.
