Re: [PATCH net-next v2 00/12] net: phy_port: SFP modules representation and phy_port listing

Here's V2 of the second phy_port series, this time bringing support for
more phy_port use especially for SFP, as well as the beggining of a
ethnl uAPI. That's a quick repost, but with the build issues and AI
review, I think it's worth getting this version out there for review.

It builds on the recent addition of phy_port representation to enable
listing the front-facing ports of an interface. For now, we don't control
these ports, we merely list their presence and their capabilities.

As the most common use-case of multi-port interfaces is combo-ports that
provide both RJ45 and SFP connectors on a single MAC, there's a lot of
SFP stuff in this series.

This series is in 2 main parts. The first one aims at representing the
SFP cages and modules using phy_port, as combo-ports with RJ45 + SFP are
by far the most common cases for multi-connector setups.

The second part is the netlink interface to list those ports, now that
most use-cases are covered.

I'll send out the AI code review. The one on patch 9 looks plausible,
not sure about the rest. LMK if none of them in fact make sense.
