OK - I get you point, but I think the message I got when investigating
this, was that it was not possible to turn it off.  I will check that
again.
On the other hand this is also used by our bare-metal API (MESA) so in
that context it simpifies the setup, since the port modules are aware of
the SFP state.

I will add a description for the MAC address to the bindings.

The same SGPIO block is present (with suitable scaling of the number of
SGPIOS) in all our switches, so this driver will be reused on all the
platforms when we get them upstreamed (or at least that is the plan).

Alex has already commented on this, but this is probably the goal as I
understand.
