[PATCH net-next v11 10/10] Documentation: networking: Update the phy_port infrastructure description

[Maxime Chevallier]

With SFP now properly supported with phy_port, add some details in the
documentation. Fix a typo along the way (driver -> driven).

+SFP ports
+=========
+
+SFP interfaces involve 2 distinct components, each represented by
+a :c:type:`struct phy_port <phy_port>` instance :
+
+ - The SFP cage itself is a :c:type:`struct phy_port <phy_port>`. It's special
+   in that it's not an MDI interface, buti rather a hot-pluggable MII.
+   The :c:type:`struct phy_port <phy_port>` associated to it lists the different
+   MII interfaces we can use on the cage.
+
+ - The SFP module, when inserted, will also be associated to a
+   :c:type:`struct phy_port <phy_port>`, that represents the various linkmodes
+   that it gives access to. The module's :c:type:`struct phy_port <phy_port>`
+   doesn't superseeds the cage's port, it references it through
+   the :c:type:`struct phy_port <phy_port>`. :c:member:`upstream_port` field.
+
 Next steps
 ==========
 
-As of writing this documentation, only ports controlled by PHY devices are
-supported. The next steps will be to add the Netlink API to expose these
-to userspace and add support for raw ports (controlled by some firmware, and directly
-managed by the NIC driver).
+As of writing this documentation, the port's presence and information can only
+be queried, and it's not possible to change any of the port's settings or select
+which one should be used.
 
 Another parallel task is the introduction of a MII muxing framework to allow the
-control of non-PHY driver multi-port setups.
+control of non-PHY driven multi-port setups.
