SERDES Mode [2:0]
0 = XFI
1 = Reserved
2 = Reserved
3 = SGMII
4 = OCSGMII
5 = Low Power
6 = XFI/2 (i.e. XFI 5G)
7 = XFI*2 (i.e. XFI 20G)
This is about it (aside from a mention in the PHY XS System Interface
Connection Status register). I assume it's over/underclocked XFI, much
like how 2500BASE-X is over/underclocked "SGMII."
I got my manual from Marvell's customer portal (okta). My document is
dated March 10, 2022.

Yeah, this is what I was referring to in the other thread [1]. In order to
implement this properly, we'd need to know what interfaces are supported,
electrically, by the board.

I had in mind something like
