The mvpp2_phylink_validate() relies on the interface field of phylink_link_state to determine valid link modes. However, when called from phylink_sfp_module_insert() this field in not initialized. The default switch case then excludes 10G link modes. This allows 10G SFP modules that are detected correctly to be configured at max rate of 2.5G. Catch the uninitialized PHY mode case, and allow 10G rates.

It would be a bit surprising that this is the right fix, you would expect validate to be called once everything has been parsed successfully from the SFP, is not that the case here? If not, can you find out what happens? -- Florian
