Thanks for the suggestions.

I agree that it would be better to clean up the softc in device_delete_chil=
d().
Since changing the device_delete_child() would have an impact on many devic=
es
and the softc will be allocated if the "miibus" input parameter of mii_atta=
ch()
is null, I only change it in the mii_attach() for minimal impact of other
components. It would be better that Freebsd can re-investigate the memory
allocation issues using device_*() APIs.
