Negotiate the interface format with the MAC rather than requiring it to
be a fixed type specified solely by the SFP module. This allows modules
that can work with several different interface signalling formats to
select a format compatible with the MAC - for example, a Fiber module
supporing Gigabit ethernet and faster connected to a Gigabit only MAC
needs to select the 1000BASE-X mode.

Improve the support for direct-attach copper so that we avoid kernel
warning messages, and report the appropriate PORT_DA type to userspace.
Direct Attach cables can use a number of protocols depending on their
range of speeds.

Add support for SFF modules, which are soldered down SFP modules.
These have a different phys_id value, and also have the present and
rate select signals omitted compared with their socketed counter-parts.

Convert sfp-bus to use fwnode rather than device_node internally, so
we can support more than just device tree firmware.
