I have a question unrelated to this.
Why do you add refcount on the pse_control struct?
The pse control is related to the RJ45 port. Each port is exclusively related
to one pse control.
Shouldn't we return an error in case of two get of the same pse control index?
Do you see use cases where a pse control could be get two times?
