[c-nsp] Ever-changing support for non Cisco branded transceivers

[Richard A Steenbergen]

6500 with two 6704-10GE's, all non-Cisco branded XENPAKs except for one LW 
wan phy. Under SRA3, the non-Cisco's report "unapproved" but work, and DOM 
works:

show interface status
Te8/1                           notconnect   1            full    10G unapproved
Te8/2                           notconnect   1            full    10G unapproved
Te8/3                           notconnect   1            full    10G unapproved
Te8/4                           notconnect   1            full    10G unapproved
Te9/1                           notconnect   1            full    10G unapproved
Te9/2                           notconnect   1            full    10G unapproved
Te9/3                           notconnect   1            full    10G 10Gbase-LW
Te9/4                           notconnect   1            full    10G unapproved

show interface transceiver
-------  -----------  -------  --------  --------  --------
Te8/1      30.5       0.00      83.2       1.0     -40.0   
Te8/2      30.0       0.00      31.6      -1.2     -40.0   
Te8/3      29.4       0.00      33.0      -1.2     -40.0   
Te8/4      26.1       0.00      32.9      -1.9     -40.0   
Te9/1      30.8       0.00      80.0       0.6     -40.0
Te9/2      30.6       0.00      32.0      -1.4     -40.0   
Te9/3      29.0       0.00      29.1 --   -2.1     -40.0   
Te9/4      29.7       0.00      31.0      -1.2     -40.0

Same box, same config, immediately following an upgrade from SRA3 to SRA4. 
Now all of the non-Cisco xenpaks show up in show int status correctly, but 
DOM stops working:

show interface status
Te8/1                           notconnect   1            full    10G 10Gbase-ER
Te8/2                           notconnect   1            full    10G 10Gbase-LR
Te8/3                           notconnect   1            full    10G 10Gbase-LR
Te8/4                           notconnect   1            full    10G 10Gbase-LR
Te9/1                           notconnect   1            full    10G 10Gbase-LR
Te9/2                           notconnect   1            full    10G 10Gbase-LR
Te9/3                           notconnect   1            full    10G 10Gbase-LW
Te9/4                           notconnect   1            full    10G 10Gbase-LR

show interface transceiver
 -------  -----------  -------  --------  --------  -------- 
 Te9/3      31.0       0.00      29.6 --   -2.1     -40.0   

Anyone have any idea whats going on here? Is this just a bug/oversight or 
intentional meddling with the non Cisco branded optics support. :)
