Hi Damodharam,

As discussed in other thread, having dedicated APIs for setting lane
makes API more clear, so we can continue with this design.

This RFC proposes two APIs, but agreement on other thread was around
three new APIs.

Copy/pasting Thomas's suggestion
"
 There are 3 needs:
	- set PHY lane config
	- get PHY lane config
	- get PHY lane capabilities
"

And "get PHY lane capabilities" should return capability per speed,
similar to FEC one.


Can you please update this RFC to have three APIs as mentioned above?

Thanks,
Ferruh
