How do you know you have connected a 400000baseLR4 to a

LR4, ER4, or FR4?

Correct.
Hi Meir
Do you also have patches to Ethtool to decode these bits in the SFP EEPROM?
Hi Andrew
We are planning on updating the user space ethtool decoder in the future.
If needed, user can use the raw dump now.

In addition, this is the terminology exposed in 50 Gbps and we
followed it.
Yes, i missed the patch which added those. I would probably of
objected. But we have them now, so lets keep going. But we might want
a clear definition of when modes can be combined like this.
