This isn't 25Gbps - it's 2.5Gbps!
So what actually happens with this module without the quirk? We should
end up marking it for use as a 2500base-X fibre module which should
result in it working.
(Please include in the commit message how it works or not without the
patch.)
Also, patches to netdev need to have "net" (for -rc) or "net-next"
(for the next merge window) in the "[PATCH ...]" n the subject line.
Thanks.
