It actually mostly obeys newbus at the moment.  Any places that may seem to be cutting corners are actually interfacing to lower-layers that don't participate in newbus (like if_media).  dcphy is also a little weird because it isn't really a PHY connected via a MII bus at all.  There may also be a few allowances made since it has been ported (and reported) to and from NetBSD and BSD/os a few times.
