On line 155 of:
 src/sys/dev/mii/inphy.c

        sc->mii_anegticks = 5;

from my understanding it supposed to keep checkings inphy every five
second? I looked in src/sys/dev/mii/mii_physubr.c and lines 309-314
read like this:

        /*
         * Only retry autonegotiation every N seconds.
         */
        KASSERT(sc->mii_anegticks != 0);
        if (++sc->mii_ticks != sc->mii_anegticks)
                return (EJUSTRETURN);

so I guess it would be no harms??

I compared similar file to OpenBSD and they don't have that in their
version of inphy.c and inphy works fine with auto negotiation.
