4 slots over QSGMII, plus the second SERDES is connected to the MAC
using SGMII/1000BaseX?

5 slots over QSGMII, the second SERDES is idle?

5 slots over QSGMII, with the second SERDES connected to an SFP cage.

Are ports 1-4 always connected to the P/Q SGMII. Its only port 5 which
can use the second SERDES?

Does changing between QSGMII and PSGMII really change the protocol run
over the multiplex link? The clock rate is slower, there are only 4
multiplexed slots vs five? Or does it keep using PSGMII and leaves one slot

I can see how it is messy to validate, if you only have phy-mode. So
maybe MODE_CFG is a package property. You then can validate the
phy-mode against MODE_CFG.
