Correct. EM extensions exist since v1.3. But implementation before Gen2
switches relied
on proprietary device specific mechanism (tsi57x). Addition of Gen2

Do you mean the tsi56x here?

Can you explain what the difference what you mean with relied on proprietary vs standard? E.g. setting the port-write destination ID register is standardized? And the format of the port-write message itself is also.
