[...] So my questions are: is it possible to the firmware report a wrong port type like
that? Is it somehow configurable by sysadmin (via fw update, ..), can we flip that byte
or is it a manufacturing issue?

I'm not sure, Yevgeny/Yishai do you have any insights here?

I can't try upstream driver

why?! netdev is dealing with upstream, isn't it?

Yes, it is. By upstream I actually mean a non-RHEL kernel/driver. I tried but so far couldn't reproduce this issue in-house, sorry. My ports always answer ETH :) So I have to ask for customer to test and then unfortunately things get complicated..

Thanks,
