and mx_setcfg() so that we can read the internal MII registers on the
MX98713 chip correctly. With these changes, media autoselection now
works correctly on the original 98713. All Macronix chips should now
be properly supported (unless there's a surprise waiting in the 98725).

during a trek through RCS. The Macronix 98713 and 98713A both have the
same PCI device ID but different revision numbers, and we need to be
able to tell one from the other. The 98715 and 98715A chips have the
same device ID as the 98725 chip but different revision numbers, however
we lump them into the same category except when identifying them during
the PCI probe output.
The main reason we need tell the chips apart is that the Macronix app
notes say you have to write a special magic number into one of the
registers in order to put the chip in normal operating mode. The 98713
requires one magic value, while all the others require a different one.

that actually use a Rhine II chip still return the PCI

really matter since the driver treats both chips the same
anyway.)

I also have a driver for the ASIX AX88140A in the works.
