rge.4: fix incorrect speed range in HARDWARE section
The HARDWARE section stated "PCIe 1GB to 1GB Ethernet devices" which is incorrect. The RTL8125/8126/8127 chips support speeds from 1Gbps to 10Gbps. Correct the range. Signed-off-by: Christos Longros <chris.longros@gmail.com> rge.4: note that the driver manages PHY directly The rge(4) driver does not use the miibus(4) interface for PHY management. Instead, it accesses PHY registers directly via the chip's OCP (On-Chip Peripheral) bus. Document this in the DESCRIPTION section.
