Right. Usually communication to these built-in switches is limited due
to lack of documentation, lack of developer time, and so on - so if you
get VLAN configuration and link status, it's already a win.

Not that I know of.
It does not really matter here, though - because you can't rely on the
L2 link status to convey end-to-end sanity, as there can always be an
intermediate L2 switch that links "to you" but lost the link on the other
end... (and this is where ethernet OAM etc. comes into play in commercial
implementations)
