I think Russell and Andrew did a good job clarifying some quirks with
all these standards :

https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/latest/source/Documentation/networking/phy.rst#L229

There are some more info in Andrew's LPC talk here :
http://vger.kernel.org/lpc_net2018_talks/phylink-and-sfp-slides.pdf

(more phylink related though)

But I agree that this is hard to fully grasp, there are so many
variants everywhere, some standard, some ad-hoc standards, etc.
