Driver for Raspberry Pi 3B+ ethernet adapter (Microchip LAN75xx/LAN78xx)
I've ported mue(4), driver for Microchip LAN75xx/LAN78xx known as
internal NIC of Raspberry Pi 3B+, from OpenBSD.
Here's source codes as well as patch for other parts of kernel:
http://www.NetBSD.org/~rin/mue20180825
The driver has been tested on following devices:
- Raspberry Pi 3B+ (LAN7800)
- Z-TEK ZE582 (LAN7500) on both RPI3b+ and ThinkPad X60 (amd64)
dmesg and performance on RPI3b+ are as follows:
% dmesg

Basically, the driver works fine. However, if the media type is set to
something other than 1000baseT-FDX, data transmission becomes quite
unstable. Also, ukphy(4) mistakenly recognize 1000baseT as a supported
media type, although the adapters do not support it. I suspect that
MII of the adapters has bugs...
I thank ryo@ for letting me know how to obtain MAC address from
bcmmbox(4).
I'd like to commit it in this weekend if there's no objection.
Thanks,
rin
