[PATCH net-next v2] net: sfp: add quirk for ZOERAX SFP-2.5G-T
From: Jan Hoffmann
Date: Sun Mar 29 2026 - 15:18:00 EST
This is a 2.5G copper module which appears to be based on a Motorcomm
YT8821 PHY. There doesn't seem to be a usable way to to access the PHY
(I2C address 0x56 provides only read-only C22 access, and Rollball is
also not working).
The module does not report the correct extended compliance code for
2.5GBase-T, and instead claims to support SONET OC-48 and Fibre Channel:
Identifier : 0x03 (SFP)
Extended identifier : 0x04 (GBIC/SFP defined by 2-wire interface ID)
Connector : 0x07 (LC)
Transceiver codes : 0x00 0x01 0x00 0x00 0x40 0x40 0x04 0x00 0x00
Transceiver type : FC: Multimode, 50um (M5)
Encoding : 0x05 (SONET Scrambled)
BR Nominal : 2500MBd
Despite this, the kernel still enables the correct 2500Base-X interface
mode. However, for the module to actually work, it is also necessary to
disable inband auto-negotiation.
Enable the existing "sfp_quirk_oem_2_5g" for this module, which handles
that and also sets the bit for 2500Base-T link mode.

v2:
- use "sfp_quirk_oem_2_5g" instead of "sfp_quirk_disable_autoneg"
