Hi Andrew,
This board is simple as it only has 4 SFP ports so they have split the
respective
pins into individual registers per their purpose.

So TX disable pins have their own 8bit register and they map pins
using individual bits.
This is how the register looks:
+-----+---------------+-----+-------------------+---------------+
| Bit |     Name      | R/W |    Description    | Default value |
+-----+---------------+-----+-------------------+---------------+
| 7:4 | Reserved         | R/W | Not used                |     0 |
| 3   | TX_Disable_52 | R/W | Enable/disable       |     0 |
| 2   | TX_Disable_51 | R/W | SFP TX transmiter |     0 |
| 1   | TX_Disable_50 | R/W | 1 = TX off               |     0 |
| 0   | TX_Disable_49 | R/W | 0 = TX on               |     0 |
+-----+---------------+-----+-------------------+---------------+

Presence and LOS pins also have their respective registers in
the same format.
So you can see that the register bits map directly to the SFP cage pins.

Regards,
Robert
