[c-nsp] Transceiver oddity on Nexus switch

Howdy,

I noticed that one QSFP-40G-PLRL4 (that doesn't appear to be working) is saying N/A for Rx Power:

Lane Number:1 Network Lane
           SFP Detail Diagnostics Information (internal calibration)
  ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
                Current              Alarms                  Warnings

  Current       34.63 mA       75.00 mA    10.00 mA    70.00 mA      15.24 mA
  Tx Power      -1.61 dBm       4.49 dBm   -8.72 dBm    3.99 dBm     -8.21 dBm
  Rx Power          N/A         4.50 dBm  -12.50 dBm    4.00 dBm    -11.49 dBm

I've never seen N/A normally without signal I see something like Rx Power     -40.00 dBm -

Is this just perhaps a badly coded transceiver or a broken one?

Thanks,
-Drew
