Some relevant quotes from IEEE 802.3-2018:

Clause 73.6.4 Technology Ability Field:

| 25GBASE-KR-S abilities are a subset of 25GBASE-KR abilities, and
| likewise 25GBASE-CR-S abilities are a subset of 25GBASE-CR abilities.
| To allow interoperation between 25GBASE-KR-S and 25GBASE-KR PHY types,
| and between 25GBASE-CR-S and 25GBASE-CR PHY types, a device that
| supports 25GBASE-KR or 25GBASE-CR should advertise both A9 and A10
| ability bits during auto-negotiation.

Definition 1.4.93 25GBASE-CR-S:

| IEEE 802.3 Physical Layer specification equivalent to 25GBASE-CR without
| support for the RS-FEC sublayer specified in Clause 108.

Definition 1.4.96 25GBASE-KR-S:

| IEEE 802.3 Physical Layer specification equivalent to 25GBASE-KR
| without support for the RS-FEC sublayer specified in Clause 108.

Because Linux already has link modes for the full 25GBase-CR and
25GBase-KR, it makes a lot more sense to increase interoperability in
the way that IEEE recommends, by being able to advertise the subsets
too.

Some of the existing drivers which could make use of this, based on
a keyword search, are:

NFP_MEDIA_25GBASE_KR_S, NFP_MEDIA_25GBASE_CR_S
HINIC_25GE_BASE_KR_S, HINIC_25GE_BASE_CR_S
ICE_PHY_TYPE_LOW_25GBASE_KR_S, ICE_PHY_TYPE_LOW_25GBASE_CR_S
