[PATCH v2] net: sfp: add quirks for GPON ONT SFP sticks

From: John Pavlick

Date: Mon Apr 06 2026 - 08:17:32 EST


Several GPON ONT SFP sticks based on Realtek RTL960x report
1000BASE-LX at 1300MBd in their EEPROM but can operate at 2500base-X.
On hosts with serdes fixed at 2.5Gbase-X (e.g. Banana Pi R3 / MT7986),
the kernel rejects them with 'no common interface modes'.

Add quirks for:
- Hisense-Leox LXT-010S-H
- Hisense ZNID-GPON-2311NA
- HSGQ HSGQ-XPON-Stick

Each quirk advertises 2500base-X and ignores TX_FAULT during the
module's ~40s Linux boot time.

Tested on Banana Pi R3 (MT7986) with OpenWrt 25.12.1, confirmed
2.5Gbps link and full throughput with flow offloading.

Changes in v2:
- Add Suggested-by tag for Marcin Nita <marcin.nita@xxxxxxxxxx>, who
suggested investigating sfp.c quirks as a solution rather than
attempting to edit the EEPROM data directly on the module.
