In case of hybrid device I would expect that we will have an 4 pair
connector where only one pair will be used. In this case we will need to
know what pair and polarity is supported or can be configured for PoDL.
It will be full blown PSE PI node with PoDL specific extras.

Don't worry about it right now.
