Hi Rob,

This gpio signal is from SFP+ module which will tell whether incoming
fiber signal available. As this is gpio, it must have the form of
"xxxx-gpios" as stated in Documentation/gpio/board.txt. As per this
document, the active state is also included in this property.

About definition for "rxlos-gpios", I suggested as below :
"- rxlos-gpios: Optional, input gpio from SFP+ module to indicate
availability of incoming signal"

Thank you,
Quan
