## Patch 1/2: ethdev: decode newer SFF compliance codes

### Errors

None identified.

### Warnings

None identified.

### Info

**Code correctness**: The patch correctly adds decoding for newer SFF compliance codes. The bit mask operations and conditional logic are sound. The compound condition for 64GFC (`(data[10] & (1 << 1)) && (data[62] & (1 << 0))`) correctly checks both the pointer bit in byte 10 and the 64GFC bit in byte 62.

**Bit shift pattern**: The code uses `(1 << n)` for bitmask operations on 8-bit array elements where the result is used in an `if` condition. This is acceptable since `n < 8` in all cases and the expression is not assigned to a 64-bit type or used in pointer arithmetic.

**Consistency with header definitions**: In `sff_8636.c`, the code directly uses bit shift expressions like `RTE_BIT32(7)` via the header-defined macros (`SFF_8636_SAS_24G`, etc.), which is the preferred pattern. The `sff_8079.c` file uses raw `(1 << n)` expressions, which is consistent with the existing code style in that file but could benefit from similar macro definitions for consistency.

**Documentation**: The inline comment `/* bit 1 refers to the Fibre Channel Speed 2 byte */` is helpful and explains the conditional logic. The compound check for 64GFC is properly documented.

## Patch 2/2: test: check newer SFF compliance codes

### Errors

None identified.

### Warnings

None identified.

### Info

**Test coverage**: The patch adds appropriate test coverage for the new compliance codes. The tests verify both that the new codes are decoded when present and that related codes are not falsely reported (e.g., `CHECK_NO_FIELD_VALUE("Transceiver type", "FC: 64GFC")` when the byte 10 bit 1 pointer is not set).

**Helper function design**: The `has_field_value()` helper is a clean solution for checking multi-valued fields like "Transceiver type". The function signature and implementation are correct.

**Boolean usage**: Good use of `bool` return type for `has_field_value()`, which is a predicate function. The implementation uses proper boolean style: returns `true`/`false` directly rather than converting from integer.

**Test structure**: The tests follow the existing pattern in the file (fill structure, set specific bytes, parse, check fields). The test names are descriptive.

**64GFC conditional test**: The test correctly verifies that 64GFC is only reported when both the byte 10 pointer bit AND the byte 62 64GFC bit are set, matching the specification's two-byte encoding.

## Overall Assessment

Both patches are well-structured and correct. The code properly implements the SFF specification updates, the test coverage is thorough, and the implementation follows DPDK coding standards. No correctness bugs, resource leaks, or style violations were identified.

The patches are ready for inclusion.
