At the moment VFs can only operate in Eth mode.
In addition we don't want the VF to attempt link sensing,
so we block this option as well.

Applied, but:

Why don't you just clearly define what all the port type bits mean
instead of only defining some arbitrary combination of them?

What if people want to experiment with other bit mask settings?  They
can't do that if you don't document the layout fully and properly.
