Some GPON SFP modules (e.g. Ubiquiti U-Fiber Instant) have set SFF phys_id
in their EEPROM. Kernel SFP subsystem currently does not allow to use
modules detected as SFF.

This change extends check for SFP modules so also those with SFF phys_id
are allowed. With this change also GPON SFP module Ubiquiti U-Fiber Instant
is recognized.
I really don't want to do this for every single module out there.
It's likely that Ubiquiti do this crap as a vendor lock-in measure.
Let's make it specific to Ubiquiti modules _only_ until such time
that we know better.
