Ternary is nicer, you're right!

That's the real question. Is it fair to express as a deserializer
property a setting of the remote serializer(s) ? What if the remotes
have different configurations (we had to play with pre-programmed and
non-pre-programmed RDACM20s in the past iirc).

I've detailed a few possible way forward and their pros and cons in
the v1 cover letter [1] and I'm happy to discuss them as I'm not sure
this is the best possible way forward.

Thanks
