Yes, validation is messy, you have to incrementally validate as each
device probes and requests its PCS. I would not only return -EINVAL,
but also dump the current partial configuration to the kernel log. I
guess the implementation would have a big table as shown in the
datasheet. You walk the table trying to find a match for those
settings you have so far, and wildcard those you don't know yet. Fun
little coding problem.
