if_vte.c patch

Hi,

On some Vortex86 SoCs MDC speed control register needs to be restored to
original value after MAC reset. This issue happens if MAC has non default
VTE_MDCSC register value before reset, and it is erroneously set to default
after, thus causing certain PHY registers fail to be read. Since PHY regist=
ers
determine link status, the link is never established (ifconfig media shows
"none" value). Also, one obvious sign is incorrect (not RDC) oui value in
dmesg.

Initially, I found and fixed that in NetBSD, but it affects all BSDs and Li=
nux.
Patch is already applied on NetBSD
(http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/src/sys/dev/pci/if_vte.c.diff?r1=3D1.3=
1&r2=3D1.32)
and Linux
(https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net.git/commit/?id=
=3De3f0cc1a945fcefec0c7c9d9dfd028a51daa1846).

Sending exactly the same patch for FreeBSD. For more info and my debugging
history can be found in
http://gnats.netbsd.org/cgi-bin/query-pr-single.pl?number=3D53494 thread. I
tested the patch on my affected Vortex86DX3 based system (link is
established/oui is correct), and unaffected DX2, EX2 based machines on Free=
BSD
(the patch itself was tested by few more people in NetBSD/Linux too).
