thanks for the comment, that's a good point;
We currently have AN restart HW API call, you are right, however whenever we add AN restart support for 1000basex,
we won't change the ABI nature of HW API calls between FW and Driver.
So yes, the transition for adding 1000basex AN restart functionality would be indeed smooth without ABI changes.
