17e14c6132 - There's no need to overwrite the default device method with the default
one. Interestingly, these are actually the default for quite some time
  (bus_generic_driver_added(9) since r52045 and bus_generic_print_child(9)
  since r52045) but even recently added device drivers do this unnecessarily.

b3186665e6 Define BGE_FW_HB_TIMEOUT_SEC and remove one more magic value.
bge(4) sends BGE_FW_CMD_DRV_ALIVE command to firmware every 2
seconds.  BGE_FW_CMD_DRV_ALIVE command requires 4 bytes data.  This
data contains timeout value in seconds until the next
BGE_FW_CMD_DRV_ALIVE command.
Broadcom recommends driver set the value 3 times longer than the
interval that it sends BGE_FW_CMD_DRV_ALIVE.  Currently bge(4) uses
3 seconds so probably we have to increase it in future and use
different ALIVE command(e.g. BGE_FW_CMD_DRV_ALIVE3).

6aafd5d852 Rename hard-coded value 1 << 14 with BGE_RX_CPU_DRV_EVENT.
This bit(SW event 7 in publicly available data sheet) is used to
make RX CPU handle a firmware command and the bit is automatically
cleared after RX CPU completed the command.
Generally firmware command takes the following steps.
 1. Write BGE_SRAM_FW_CMD_MB with a command.
 2. Write BGE_SRAM_FW_CMD_LEN_MB with the length of the command in bytes.
 3. Write BGE_SRAM_FW_CMD_DATA_MB with actual command data.
 4. Generate BGE_RX_CPU_EVENT and let firmware handle the command.
 5. Wait for the ACK of the firmware command.

9eaf5975ff SRAM offset 0x0C04 is used by driver to inform the IPMI/ASF firmware
about the various driver events like load, unload, reset, suspend,
restart, and ioctl operations.
Define driver's event rather than using hard-coded values.  We don't
still send suspend/resume event to firmware.

Previously bge(4) used BGE_SDI_STATUS to send events. Because driver
has to access firmware mail box to inform current state, using
BGE_SDI_STATUS register was wrong. The end result was the same as
BGE_SDI_STATUS is 0x0C04.

was used in communication between the host and processor internal
to the Tigon chip.

interface.

ba66eff854 BCM5719 cannot handle DMA requests for DMA segments that have

created in DMA tag is 4KB, so we wouldn't encounter the issue here.
Just record this issue such that let developers not to create a DMA
segment that is larger than 4KB for BCM5719. It's possible to split
a DMA segment into multiple smaller ones in run time but I believe
it's not worth to implement that.

df88e7fa5f Since r117657, bge(4) does not enable buffer manager for BCM5705 or
newer controllers.  However, all data sheet I have access has no
indication that buffer manager should not be touched on these
controllers.  It seems the buffer manager always runs on BCM5705 or
newer controllers. Some controller(e.g. BCM5719) needs other buffer
manager configuration so driver should enable buffer manager for
all controllers.  Both Linux and OpenBSD/NetBSD use the same
approach.
This change polls enable bit of block to know whether specified
block was really stopped as well as enabling buffer manager for all
controllers in driver initialization.

d0f32374e6 - Remove attempts to implement setting of BMCR_LOOP/MIIF_NOLOOP
(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.

32bac9120d Add initial jumbo frame support for BCM5714/BCM5715 and BCM5780.
Unlike other controllers which have more advanced jumbo support,
these controllers have one send ring, one standard receive producer
ring and one receive return ring. In order to receive jumbo frames
on the controllers, driver now will increase Rx buffer size to 9k.
Two Rx modes are supported on these controllers and I chose
standard Rx BDs over extended Rx BDs. The extended Rx BD mode
allows up to 4 segmentations for each Rx BDs such that kernel does
not have to allocate large buffer of contiguous memory for
receiving. The extended Rx BD mode is already used on controllers
that have separate jumbo receive ring. However, using extended Rx
BDs on BCM5714/BCM5715/BCM5780 reduces the number of Rx BDs to 256
entries which in turn may reduce the performance.  Also UMA backed
page allocator for jumbo frame returns contiguous memory so using
extended Rx BD has no advantage on FreeBSD unless highly customized
local allocator implemented in driver is used.
To use jumbo buffers in standard receive ring, Rx buffer allocation
handler was changed to allocate MJUM9BYTES sized mbuf.

b398f2bdb6 Apply DMA address space restriction to controllers that have 4GB
DMA boundary bug and runs with PCI-X mode.  watchdog timeout was
observed on BCM5704 which lives behind certain PCI-X bridge(e.g.
AMD 8131 PCI-X bridge).  It's still not clear whether the root
cause came from that PCI-X bridge or not. The watchdog timeout
indicates the issue is in TX path. If the bridge reorders TX
mailbox write accesses it would generate all kinds of problems but
I'm not sure.  This should be revisited.

d3abe35fb6 - Remove the remaining support for older (in this case pre-7.0-RELEASE)
versions of FreeBSD. In fact we are already missing a lot of conditional
  code necessary to support older versions of FreeBSD, including alternatives
  for vital functionality not yet provided by the respective subsystem back
  then (see for example r199663). So this change shouldn't actually break
  this driver on versions of FreeBSD that were supported before. Besides,
  this driver also isn't maintained as an multi-release version outside of
  the main repository, so removing the conditional code shouldn't be a
  problem in that regard either.

278d761d73 o Flesh out the generic IEEE 802.3 annex 31B full duplex flow control
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.

d3a1fbe16a Add initial BCM5718 family support. The BCM5718 family includes
the dual port BCM5717 and BCM5718 devices which are intended for
mainstream workstation and entry-level server designs and
represents the twelfth generation of NetXtreme Ethernet controllers.
This family is the successor to the BCM5714/BCM5715 family and
supports IPv4/IPv6 checksum offloading, TSO, VLAN hardware tagging,
jumbo frames, MSI/MSIX, IOV, RSS and TSS.

This change set supports all hardware features except IOV and
RSS/TSS. Unlike its predecessors, only extended RX buffer
descriptors can be posted to the jumbo producer ring. Single RX
buffer descriptors for jumbo frame are not supported. RSS requires
a more substantial set of changes and will apply to a larger set
of NetXtreme devices so RSS/TSS multi-queue support will be
implemented in a future releases.

receive buffer resources. The workaround is to choose de-pipeline
method as a flow control decision for SDI. De-pipeline method
allows only 1 data in TxMbuf at a time such that a request to RDMA
from SDI is made only when TxMbuf is empty. Thanks for david for
providing detailed errata information.

f5df7c7995 Enable TX MAC state machine lockup fix for both BCM5755 or higher
and BCM5906. Publicly available data sheet just says it may happen
due to corrupted TxMbuf.

a8bf3f7ffc Add workaround for BCM5906 controller silicon bug. If device
receive two back-to-back send BDs with less than or equal to 8
total bytes then the device may hang. The two back-to-back send
BDs must be in the same frame for this failure to occur.
Thanks to davidch for detailed errata information.

385153aa98 Convert the PHY drivers to honor the mii_flags passed down and convert
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).
