This is a 2.5G copper module which appears to be based on a Motorcomm
YT8821 PHY. There doesn't seem to be a usable way to to access the PHY
(I2C address 0x56 provides only read-only C22 access, and Rollball is
also not working).

The module does not report the correct extended compliance code for
2.5GBase-T, and instead claims to support SONET OC-48 and Fibre Channel:

  Identifier          : 0x03 (SFP)
  Extended identifier : 0x04 (GBIC/SFP defined by 2-wire interface ID)
  Connector           : 0x07 (LC)
  Transceiver codes   : 0x00 0x01 0x00 0x00 0x40 0x40 0x04 0x00 0x00
  Transceiver type    : FC: Multimode, 50um (M5)
  Encoding            : 0x05 (SONET Scrambled)
  BR Nominal          : 2500MBd

Despite this, the kernel still sets 2500Base-X as interface mode based
on the (incorrect) nominal signaling rate.

However, it is also necessary to disable auto-negotiation for the module
to actually work. Thus, create a SFP quirk to do this.

Note: I'm not quite sure "sfp_quirk_disable_autoneg" is enough here, or
if it would be appropriate to use the full "sfp_quirk_oem_2_5g" quirk
due to the not really correct compliance code / nominal signaling rate.
