mapping an OUI to the MII id registers.
Doing this in the MII_OUI() macro would be too complex, so put it into
a helper function and move the MII id register interpretation stuff
into miivar.h.
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 the LXT-970 which disables MII
interrupts (as is done for a few other PHYs we have drivers for).
timeout()/untimeout() API:
- Clients supply callout handle storage, thus eliminating problems of
resource allocation.
- Insertion and removal of callouts is constant time, important as
this facility is used quite a lot in the kernel.
The old timeout()/untimeout() API has been removed from the kernel.
so that they are not includes if no PHY is configured
(avoids code bloat if an interface driver has the "mii" attribute but
mii is not used by the particular version)
in pci/if_tl.c, call config_found() with a print function, instead of
printing ourself a message in if_tl.c if no miibus was found. The print
function is in mii/mii.c (mii_adapter_print()) so that it can be used by any
adapter (idea from the scsi system).
adapters, and provide media-selections and status to the parent.
This includes drivers for the Thunderland integrated PHY, and
National Semiconductor's DP83840A.
Note: The interface betweeen network controller and mii is not complete yet,
and will need some minors tweaks to support media auto-selection.
