ack. According to 30.15.1.1.3 aPoDLPSEPowerDetectionStatus, we may have
following:
/**
 * enum ethtool_podl_pse_pw_d_status - power detection status of the PoDL PSE.
 *	IEEE 802.3-2018 30.15.1.1.3 aPoDLPSEPowerDetectionStatus:
 * @ETHTOOL_PODL_PSE_PW_D_STATUS_UNKNOWN: PoDL PSE
 * @ETHTOOL_PODL_PSE_PW_D_STATUS_DISABLED: "The enumeration “disabled” is
 *	asserted true when the PoDL PSE state diagram variable mr_pse_enable is
 *	false"
 * @ETHTOOL_PODL_PSE_PW_D_STATUS_SEARCHING: "The enumeration “searching” is
 *	asserted true when either of the PSE state diagram variables
 *	pi_detecting or pi_classifying is true."
 * @ETHTOOL_PODL_PSE_PW_D_STATUS_DELIVERING: "The enumeration “deliveringPower”
 *	is asserted true when the PoDL PSE state diagram variable pi_powered is
 *	true."
 * @ETHTOOL_PODL_PSE_PW_D_STATUS_SLEEP: "The enumeration “sleep” is asserted
 *	true when the PoDL PSE state diagram variable pi_sleeping is true."
 * @ETHTOOL_PODL_PSE_PW_D_STATUS_IDLE: "The enumeration “idle” is asserted true
 *	when the logical combination of the PoDL PSE state diagram variables
 *	pi_prebiased*!pi_sleeping is true."
 * @ETHTOOL_PODL_PSE_PW_D_STATUS_ERROR: "The enumeration “error” is asserted
 *	true when the PoDL PSE state diagram variable overload_held is true."
 */

Probably all of them, except of ETHTOOL_PODL_PSE_PW_D_STATUS_SEARCHING can be
potentially implemented in this driver on top of regulator framework.

Good question. I assume, automotive folks would love be able to enable
regulator in the boot loader on the PSE to let the Powered Device boot parallel
to the PSE.
