  SVN rev 183966 on 2008-10-17 05:26:51Z by yongari
  
  Some 88E1149 PHY's page select is initialized to point to other
  bank instead of copper/fiber bank which in turn resulted in
  wrong registers were accessed during PHY operation. It is
  believed that page 0 should be used for copper PHY so reinitialize
  E1000_EADR to select default copper PHY.
  This fixes link establishment issue of nfe(4) on Sun Fire X4140.
  
  OpenBSD also has similimar patch but they just reset the E1000_EADR
  register to page 0. However some Marvell PHYs((88E3082, 88E1000)
  don't have the extended address register and the meaning of the
  register is quite different for each PHY model. So selecting copper
  PHY is limited to 88E1149 PHY which seems to be the only one that
  exhibits link establishment problem. If parent device know the type
  of PHY(either copper or fiber) that information should be notified
  to PHY driver but there is no good way to pass this information yet.
