Exactly. That was supposedly also the original intention.

Ack. The post-reset default is active-high and the only case we need to
cover here are LEDs for which VDD is driven instead of GND, so
supposedly if any of those signals are used as LOS in a SFP module it
would be wired in a way which uses the post-reset default of the PHY
anyway which were aren't changing in this case.

Thank you for the quick review!
