extract a link status of PHY when parent driver is re(4). RGEPHY_MII_SSR register does not seem to report correct PHY status on some integrated PHYs used with re(4). Unfortunately, RealTek PHYs have no additional information to differentiate integrated PHYs from external ones so relying on PHY model number is not enough to know that. However, it seems RGEPHY_MII_SSR register exists for external RealTek PHYs so checking parent driver would be good indication to know which PHY was used. In other words, for non-re(4) controllers, the PHY is external one and its revision number is greater than or equal to 2. This change fixes intermittent link UP/DOWN messages reported on RTL8169 controller. Also, mii_attach(9) is tried after setting interface name since rgephy(4) have to know parent driver name.
