Yes, I've been wondering that. I've recently heard about a Realtek PHY
which is supported by our realtek driver, but appears on a SFP that
can only do C45 accesses. However, the realtek driver is written to
use C22 accesses to this PHY - and the PHY supports both. So currently
it doesn't work.

That's just an additional data point for thinking about this, I haven't
formulated a solution to it yet.
