Basically this device ID is for a specific SoC platform, there is no external PHY for it.
We prefer to NACK it. I added more experts here to answer more questions if you have.
Note that they are not working on DPDK, and they are experts on ixgbe NIC/SW.
Or we can discuss more if you have any requests to Intel.
