I would actually like to see all these go away.

PCS_ANE_FD == LPA_1000XFULL
PCS_ANE_HD == LPA_1000XHALF
PCS_ANE_PSE == LPA_1000XPAUSE and LPA_1000XPAUSE_ASYM
PCS_ANE_RFE == LPA_RESV and LPA_RFAULT
PCS_ANE_ACK == LPA_LPACK

Isn't it rather weird that the field layout matches 802.3z aka
1000base-X and not SGMII? This layout would not make sense for Cisco
SGMII as it loses the speed information conveyed by the Cisco SGMII
control word.

This isn't a case of the manufacturer using "SGMII" to mean a serial
gigabit media independent interface that supports 1000base-X
(PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_1000BASEX) rather than Cisco SGMII
(PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_SGMII) ?
