Thanks for the suggestions.

I agree that it would be better to clean up the softc in device_delete_child().
Since changing the device_delete_child() would have an impact on many devices
and the softc will be allocated if the "miibus" input parameter of mii_attach()
is null, I only change it in the mii_attach() for minimal impact of other
components. It would be better that Freebsd can re-investigate the memory
allocation issues using device_*() APIs.
