Thanks. I think I would like one extra change:

Since SFPs are single lane, SR4 doesn't make sense (which requires
four lanes), and I shouldn't have added it when adding these modes.
It would be a good idea to drop that, or at least for the
addition of the SFF8024_ECC_100G_25GAUI_C2M_AOC case.

Would it be okay changing 100000baseSR4 to 100000baseSR dropping the "4"?
