The pd692x0 report this for the unknown state: "Port is not mapped to physical
port, port is in unknown state, or PD692x0 fails to communicate with PD69208
device allocated for this port."
Also it has a status for open port (not connected) state.
(ETHTOOL_C33_PSE_EXT_SUBSTATE_V_OPEN)
Do you prefer to use the same error for both state?

Current overload seems to be describing the "Overload current detection range
(Icut)" As described in the IEEE standard.
Not sure If budget exceeded should use the same error.

The enum errors I wrote is a bit subjective and are taken from the PD692x0
port status list. Go ahead to purpose any change, I have tried to make
categories that make sense but I might have made wrong choice.

Indeed, thanks for spotting that mistake.

Oh right, indeed. Forgot to add the netlink docs.
