This should have your SoB.

I think what Kishon meant in his previous mail is that it's not really clear (to
me at least) how that function would be useful.

In this particular case, what would the consumer make of that information? Does
the phy needs to be reconfigured based on the max rate being changed?

Some phy_configure_opts structures also have a somewhat similar field that can
be negociated between the provider and the consumer using phy_validate, wouldn't
that be redundant?

Most of that discussion can only happen when you've provided a use-case for that
series, so a consumer using it would help greatly there.
