Do you have access to a PHY which implements clause 45.2.9? That seems
like a better reference implementation?

I don't know the market, what is more likely, a simple regulator, or
something more capable with an interface like 45.2.9?

netlink does allow us to keep adding more attributes, so we don't need
to be perfect first time, but it seems like 45.2.9 is what IEEE expect
vendors to provide, so at some point Linux should implement it.
