The kernel RPC cannot process non-application data records when
using TLS. It must to an upcall to a userspace daemon that will
call SSL_read() to process them.
This patch adds a new flag called MSG_TLSAPPDATA that the kernel
RPC can use to tell sorecieve() to return ENXIO instead of a non-application
data record, when that is what is at the top of the receive queue.
I put the code in #ifdef KERN_TLS/#endif, although it will build without
that, so that it is recognized as only useful when KERN_TLS is enabled.
The alternative to doing this is to have the kernel RPC re-queue the
non-application data message after receiving it, but that seems more
complicated and might introduce message ordering issues when there
are multiple non-application data records one after another.
I do not know what, if any, changes will be required to support TLS1.3.

The standard FreeBSD MII support causes severe problems on the LPC3200
chip family. If an Ethernet module register is accessed while there is
no clock from the PHY, the chip completely locks up and only an external
watchdog can recover from this state. The legacy driver had a custom
PHY management code which helped to avoid such issues. The if_lpe.c
driver is no longer maintained by FreeBSD.
The i.MX6UL (and some others from the i.MX family) have shared MDIO
lines for multiple FFECs. This patch allows to use the MDIO interface
from another Ethernet controller.
Note that you have to make sure that the FFECs are initialized in the
right order. Normally that can be done via FDT.
Under unknown conditions the receive path ended up in a frozen state.
In this state, the DMA and driver descriptor head were equal and all
receive descriptors had the used bit set. So, the DMA was unable to
store received frames. However, the receive daemon was never woken up
to refill the receive buffers. It seems that the RXUBR interrupt can be
used to recover from this state.
Update #4652.
