BCM module diagnostics replace timestamp probes: bringup forces EEE off and runs ECD (re-run on every reset, re-baselining past its blip), 1 Hz SNR margin + corrected counters on panel and console; X520 bench divergences bypassed and tracked in open-questions

Resolve X520 open questions on hardware: ETQF raw-L2 steering and single-hold compound I2C proven; 82599 has no all-packet exact-timestamp path so it is disqualified as product NIC (diagnostics-only), counter route rejected for a cable tester
