I've never seen any other vendor implement this. Which to me makes me
think this is a vendor extension, to Ciscos vendor extension of
1000BaseX.

Matthew, do you have a real use cases of these? I don't see a DT patch
making use of them. And if you do, what is the PHY on the other end
which also allows you to invert the clocks?
