It has been suggested that I split the patch into 2 parts: gianfar

Here is the result:

It would be more valuable if there were cases where multiple different
boards that
use the same type of PHY chip were supported. Even better if it could
subsume the existing
MII code. Don't know enough about all the different flavors of
hardware to know what
combinations exist but it looks like there are different boards that
have the same
PHY chips. It looks like the FreeBSD tries to abstract this.
I'm not clear what you mean here. The whole point of the code is to
allow different boards which use the same PHY chip to use the same
code. The only code that would be different is code that is specific
to the board. Does this code not fulfill that requirement?
