State-Changed-Why: 
I beleive the PCI device id of BCM5721 controller is 0x1659 so
bge(4) is right about telling the truth. I don't know why
pciconf(8) shows BCM5750A1 but I guess it showed MAC version of
controller. Broadcom used to deploy different controller model
naming and MAC naming. They also added even more confusion by
introducing different PHY model naming.
All drivers in tree shows controller name, not MAC/PHY model name,
so I believe bge(4) is correct. I think other OSes will show BCM5721
for the controller. So do you agree on closing the PR?
