We should not refer struct bnx_softc in brgphy.c
because mii devices can be configured without PCI
and bnx_softc contains PCI specific stuff.
Your patch might break GENERIC on zaurus, which
has mii via on-chip USB but no PCI bus.

To pass bnx_foo_flag values from parent bnx(4) to child brgphy(4),
we need the following two changes

 - use device properties (proplib) to pass flag values
 - split if_bnxreg.h and move PCI specific stuff
   ("Device State Data", debug macro etc.) into (new) if_bnxvar.h

It would be clearer to use one uint32_t member with shift ops
for bd_flags and bd_vlan_tag rather than two uint16_t members
with reorder #ifdef while the above one will also work...
