I have a LS1088A board which I can test on.

As it happens, it does support SGMII on lane B, but it mainly supports
SATA/PCIe.

If you happen to have some additional info about the internal structure of
the SerDes, I'd be very interested. However, as far as I can tell from the
public documentation the protocols supported are different for each SerDes
on each SoC.

E.g. the LS1043A has a completely different set of supported protocols on its SerDes.

There was no mention of that in the datasheet, but I suspect that's
a PCS issue.

No, as noted in the commit message.

Fine by me.

Correct.

PCIe will automatically switch between PLLs in order to switch speeds. So
we can't change either, because the currently-used PLL could change at any
time. SATA doesn't have this restriction. Its rates have power-of-two
relationships with each other, so it can just change the divider. However,
I've chosen to get things exclusively in both cases for simplicity.

The reason why I do this is to make sure that no other protocols are selected.
We only clear out the protocol configuration registers for a protocol that we've
configured (e.g when we go from SGMII to XFI we clear out the SGMII register).
But if the RCW e.g. configured QSGMII, we need to disable it because otherwise we
will accidentally leave it enabled.

That's fine by me.

You're right. This should really check used_lanes first.

Will do.
