Looks to me like you just need 3 PSE cells: <manager> <port> <A|B>

Really, no need for each piece of data to its own cell, so it could be 
merged into 1 or 2 cells.

But cell data is generally supposed to be meaningful to the provider and 
opaque to the consumer. It's not clear to me who needs to know 
alternative A vs. B. That seems more like a property of the PHY than the 
power provider?
