After the discussion here: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20210603143453.if7hgifupx5k433b@pali/ which resulted in this patch: https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/netdevbpf/patch/20210704134325.24842-1-pali@kernel.org/ and many other discussions before it, notably: https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-arm-kernel/patch/1512016235-15909-1-git-send-email-Bhaskar.Upadhaya@nxp.com/ it became apparent that nobody really knows what "SGMII 2500" is. Certainly, Freescale/NXP hardware engineers name this protocol "SGMII 2500" in the reference manuals, but the PCS devices do not support any "SGMII" specific features when operating at the speed of 2500 Mbps, no in-band autoneg and no speed change via symbol replication . So that leaves a fixed speed of 2500 Mbps using a coding of 8b/10b with a SERDES lane frequency of 3.125 GHz. In fact, "SGMII 2500 without in-band autoneg and at a fixed speed" is indistinguishable from "2500base-x wi...
