The SMA and U.FL connectors of an E810-C timing board are routed by a
PCA9575 GPIO expander, and ice_dpll_init_info_sw_pins() reaches it
through ice_read_sma_ctrl(). On a board that carries a CGU but no such
expander the netlist lookup fails with -ENXIO, which aborts
ice_dpll_init_info() and with it the whole DPLL registration:
ice 0000:cc:00.0: ice_dpll_init_info - fail: d->inputs:...
ice 0000:cc:00.0: DPLLs init failure err:-6
Userspace loses the EEC and PPS devices, every CGU pin and the recovered
clock pin.
The netlist describes the mux with a clock mux node, which
ice_init_feature_support() already turns into ICE_F_SMA_CTRL. Key the
software controlled pins on that flag. Without the mux the SMA wrappers
stay inputs, the state the mux path programs at init anyway, and do not
advertise DIRECTION_CAN_CHANGE. The U.FL pins are the other leg of the
mux, so they are hidden, and the outgoing CGU pins stay visible as
REF-SMA1 and REF-SMA2/U.FL2.
The layout is not exotic, the E810_C827_SyncE_SFP_SEC configuration in
Intel's 4.80 NVM package has no clock mux node either. Such boards
worked until the SMA and U.FL redesign moved the expander access into
the DPLL init path.

ice_dpll_init_info_sw_pins() describes the SMA and U.FL wrappers by
pointing them at fixed positions of the input and output arrays, inputs
4 and 5 and outputs 0 and 1 on an E810-C SFP, and reads the ref-sync
partner of the input it picked. The arrays are sized by the pin counts
firmware reports. On a board that does not match the Intel reference
layout the driver has already fallen back to generic pins, and when
such a board reports fewer pins than the reference the reads run past
the end of the arrays.
The wrappers are never registered on a generic board, but
ice_dpll_init_pins() still calls ice_dpll_pin_ref_sync_register() on
them, so a stray nonzero partner from the out of bounds read would pair
NULL pins.
Describe the wrappers only when the static pin table is in use and keep
their ref-sync registration under the same condition. The default
programming of the PCA9575 clock mux stays on the generic path, a board
that has the mux still needs its SMA connectors switched to inputs.
