interface. Make MII drivers forget about 'struct ifnet'.
Later plan is to provide an administrative downcall from ifnet
layer into drivers, to inform them about administrative status
change. If someone thinks that processing MII events for an
administratively down interface is a big problem, then drivers
would turn MII processing off.
The following MII drivers do evil things, like strcmp() on
driver name, so they still need knowledge of ifnet and thus
include if_var.h. They all need to be fixed:
sys/dev/mii/brgphy.c
sys/dev/mii/e1000phy.c
sys/dev/mii/ip1000phy.c
sys/dev/mii/jmphy.c
sys/dev/mii/nsphy.c
sys/dev/mii/rgephy.c
sys/dev/mii/truephy.c

(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.

- 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.
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).

different PHY instance being selected and isolation out into the wrappers
around the service methods rather than duplicating them over and over
again (besides, a PHY driver shouldn't need to care about which instance
it actually is).
- Centralize the check for the need to isolate a non-zero PHY instance not
supporting isolation in mii_mediachg() and just ignore it rather than
panicing, which should sufficient given that a) things are likely to
just work anyway if one doesn't plug in more than one port at a time and
b) refusing to attach in this case just leaves us in a unknown but most
likely also not exactly correct configuration (besides several drivers
setting MIIF_NOISOLATE didn't care about these anyway, probably due to
setting this flag for no real reason).
- Minor fixes like removing unnecessary setting of sc->mii_anegticks,
using sc->mii_anegticks instead of hardcoded values etc.
When there's an error, we don't want to free the children, since it
will be stack garbage. While we did fail to dereference it by setting
devs to 0, we didn't fail to call free. We never failed to fail, it
was the easiest thing to do.
- Fix some whitespace nits.
- Fix some spelling in comments.
- Use MII_ANEGTICKS instead of 5.
- Don't define variables in nested scope.
- Remove superfluous returns at the end of void functions.
- Remove unused static global rgephy_mii_model.
