(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.

- Do not invoke jme_rxintr() to reclaim any unprocessed but received

controller with Card Read Host Controller. These controllers are
multi-function devices and have the same ethernet core of
JMC250/JMC260. Starting from REVFM 5(chip full mask revision)
controllers have the following features.
o eFuse support
o PCD(Packet Completion Deferring)
o More advanced PHY power saving
Because these controllers started to use eFuse, station address
modified by driver is permanent as if it was written to EEPROM. If
you have to change station address please save your controller
default address to safe place before reprogramming it. There is no
way to restore factory default station address.

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).

o JMC260 chip full mask revision 2 has a silicon bug that can't

limiting DMA address space to be within 32bit.
o Valid FIFO space of receive control and status register was
changed on chip full mask revision 2 or later controllers. For
these controllers, use default 16QW as it's supposed to be the
safest value for maximum PCIe compatibility. JMicron confirmed
performance will not be reduced even if the FIFO space is set
to 16QW.
o When interface is put into suspend/shutdown state, remove Tx MAC
