connected, we can create a phy_port to represent it. Instead of letting the SFP subsystem handle that, the Bus' upstream is in charge of maintaining that phy_port and register it to the topology, as the upstream (in this case a phy device) is directly interacting with the underlying net_device. Add a phy_caps helper alongside to get the achievable modes on thisAlongside what?
Alongside this patch ? I'll reword. Maxime
