Description
Today, we report the datapath information for a transceiver, which includes things like the specification compliance code for SFF-8636 modules or the media interface ID for CMIS modules. It would be nice to include an API for getting the list of supported speeds from a datapath. For example, for 100G CWDM4 modules, we'd return [100_000_000_000] or something similar. For multi-speed modules, that might have many entries.

Research direction
Start by locating the datapath representation and existing API for transceiver information, then review how SFF-8636 and CMIS modules expose datapath details. Done means the API can return a list of supported speeds for single-speed and multi-speed modules, including the 100G CWDM4 example.
