The Lantech 8330-262D-E module is 2500base-X capable, but it reports the
nominal bitrate as 2500MBd instead of 3125MBd. Add a quirk for the
module.

The following in an EEPROM dump of such a SFP with the serial number

Any idea what the "Extremely Compatible" is referring to? :-D

Haha, I smirked on that, too. Anything between 60 and 7f
is vendor specific. So.. good for a laugh?

A quirk like this seems safe to apply to net and 5.17, still.
Would you prefer that or net-next as marked?

Personally, I don't have any preference because the board
is just in the process of being upstreamed. Just pick one ;)
I'd say net-next because 5.17 development is almost at the
end.
