Appliance image builds and boots for the locked-in hardware: kernel/ixgbe-sff.patch carries the product driver subset (raw I2C + sff_i2c, ETQF steering with rule round-trip, FCoE slot guard — bench-only reg_ops/ts_bench excluded), ported to v7.2 and compile-verified; mkimage applies it or dies, builds IXGBE=y (ICE/I40E out with the ice.pkg blob) and puts ixgbe.allow_unsupported_sfp=1 on the cmdline; load-ixgbe joins the repo anchored to its own path; module bringup ordered after the host checks because a down port's TX_DISABLE powers the PHY core down while the mailbox keeps answering (proven by flipping admin state: down reads 0xffff everywhere, core wakes 0.07-0.24s after the raise) with identify settling 3s bounded; cold-boot condition reproduced on the bench (ports downed first) and passing, confirmed on the appliance
