This is required for managed operation of the SFP ports on
the Ten64 (LS1088A) and other boards.
The two issues resolved are:
- Validation of 10G SFP link modes fail as Linux did not
consider the equivalence of modes like XFI, 10GBase-R
- Fix a locking issue that prevented the system rebooting
when SFP ports were controlled by the SFP driver.
Please note, these patches are replaced by upstream ones
in 6.x, see: commit 61ec9a8154 ("armvirt: add SFP support
patches for NXP Layerscape DPAA2 platforms") in OpenWrt for
the relevant patches.
