Not my intention to complain at all.  Just wanted those with a stake in
this to be aware of your work.

Thanks a lot for the efforts you have done to add complete support for
this very interesting device. As well as many other devices.  Connected
to a Unifi 6 lite right now, so I do appreciate that work!

And having these two implementations for widely different PoE systems is
extremely useful for further "poe manager" design discussions.

What I would want to avoid by posting is that we end up having two
separate poe managers in OpenWrt (including "packages") forever... Which
is how things look right now.. IMHO it would be better to combine them
before mergin.  Or at least agree on one of them as a basis for further
developement and discussion, so we can avoid adding a userspace API
which is doomed to go away soon.
