Hm,

If i take only deep sleep, missing modes are:
3.20.13 100GBASE-R deep sleep
       family of Physical Layer devices using 100GBASE-R encoding:
       100000baseCR4_Full
       100000baseKR4_Full
       100000baseCR10_Full (missing)
       100000baseSR4_Full
       100000baseSR10_Full (missing)
       100000baseLR4_ER4_Full

3.20.11 25GBASE-R deep sleep
       family of Physical Layer devices using 25GBASE-R encoding:
       25000baseCR_Full
       25000baseER_Full (missing)
       25000baseKR_Full
       25000baseLR_Full (missing)
       25000baseSR_Full

3.20.9 40GBASE-R deep sleep
       family of Physical Layer devices using 40GBASE-R encoding:
       40000baseKR4_Full
       40000baseCR4_Full
       40000baseSR4_Full
       40000baseLR4_Full

3.20.7 40GBASE-T
       40000baseT_Full (missing)

I have no experience with modes > 1Gbit. Do all of them correct? What
should we do with missing modes? Or may be it make sense to implement >
10G modes separately?

Regards,
Oleksij
