[c-nsp] GLC-LH-SM vs SFP-GE-L

[Ian Cox]

It a little more complicated on the GLC vs SFP parts. The SFP parts are
spec'd to support a higher case temperature then the GLCs. Some
platforms airflow at worst case temperature can not sufficiently cool
GLC, were as SFP parts are spec'd to work at the higher temperatures.
