evidence that this is actually needed except for the existence of the
code itself, but if it's going to be here, it should compile. Tested
briefly on my ASUS motherboard with built-in sk interface.
While it can be made to compile, the paradigm is not quite right because
it attempts to contact the filesystem during autoconfig which sometimes
causes a panic. Even if that was fixed, there is another potential problem
in that the driver tries/sleeps/tries/sleeps and the sleep could
theoretically sleep past the rc.d/btconfig stage and the controller
would remain unconfigured.
So, I have prepared a different method for loading the firmware to
Broadcom BCM2033 chip based devices. A package 'sysutils/bcmfw' will load
the firmware files via a ugen(4) device interface.
This update removes the ubtbcmfw(4) driver and adds a table to the ubt(4)
driver so that it will not attach to Broadcom BCM2033 based devices before
the firmware was loaded.
This fixes kern/34219
fixes and caveats:
- will switch to 32bit colour, 8bit support needs some more work
- added support for fonts with widths that aren't multiples of 8
- for now the driver will always try to become system console
- mode switching works but is ugly
- all the acceleration bits work
- X should work with wsfb, mmap() needs some more work
- it still needs a hack to allow wsdisplay_cnattach to be called twice
Most of the testing was done on MIPS hardware -- it probably needs work before
it will be useful with x86 hardware, and it is probably incompatible with
the X11 server.

it had claimed while acting as the initial console device. This allows
(for example) vga to be the initial console, and an accelerated
framebuffer driver to take over later.
This support is not based on a datasheet, because a datasheet is not readily
available for this chip. However, Promise have partially open sourced their
driver for Linux, and all suggestions are that the PDC20771 is pretty similar
to other recent SATA chips.
The TX2300 has two ports, but there is unoccupied space on the board for a
third PATA port. It isn't entirely obvious how many channels the PDC20771 can
support.
The pdc205xx_drv_probe probe is necessary to avoid probing two wd* devices for
every physical device.
