How are these 3 modes configured? I don't see any software
configuration of this in these drivers. Can it only by configured by
strapping?

The interface mode is passed in the .config_init, which is configured
by the PCS driver, the hardware register is located in the PCS, this
driver will be pushed later.

I think there should be some validation of the phydev->interface
mode. Are ports 1-3 set to PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_10G_QXGMII? Is port 4
interface mode consistent with the strapping?

All ports(1-4) can be PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_10G_QXGMII, if port4 is
connected with PCS0, which will works on sgmii/2500basex mode,
these configuration is controlled by register instead of boot strapping.
