I would like to apologize for my late response.

I find the ability to set off, auto and specific FEC mode in the same
command confusing.
Here are some examples

1. What is the expected result of 'off' & other FEC mode such as 'RS'?
  -'off'?
  -'RS'?
  -automatic selection {'off','RS'}? w/o setting of auto?

2. What is the expected result of 'off', 'RS' and 'auto'?
  - automatic selection from the set of {'RS','off'}
    - if that is the case, what is the different from 'off' and 'RS'
with out 'auto'?
  - allowing the device to use all three modes
    - automatic selection {auto, rs, off}. what is the meaning of auto of auto?

I think that we shall have some mutual configuration limitation :

1. if 'auto' was set, any other configuration from within the set
{'off', 'RS', 'base-r'}
    will imply the set of configuration to be selected by auto mode
    i.e. 'auto', 'RS' and 'off' configuration will result with
automatic selection between {'off', 'RS'}
2. if 'auto' was not set, only one configuration from within {'off',
'RS', 'base-r'} can
    be set (and from that, 'off' cannot be set with other configuration)
