From: Andy Gospodarek <andy@greyhouse.net> Systems containing an 82599EB and running a backported driver from upstream were panicing on boot. It turns out hw->mac.ops.setup_sfp is only set for 82599, so one should check to be sure that pointer is set before continuing in ixgbe_sfp_config_module_task. I verified by inspection that the upstream driver has the same issue and also added a check before the call in ixgbe_sfp_link_config.
