I would suggest separating blink intervals into a patch of their own,
because they are orthogonal to the other modes. Most PHYs are not
going to support them, or they have to be the same across all LEDs, or
don't for example make sense with duplex etc. We need to first
concentrate on the basics, get that correct. Then we can add nice to
have features like this.
