Subject: [PATCH ethtool] ethtool: Fix SFF 8079 cable technology bit parsing

According to the transceiver compliance code definition in the spec, bits
2 & 3 in the 8th byte are indication of active/passive cable, and not
specifically related to FC/copper.

Fixes: 2edf56749abe ("ethtool: Addition of -m option to dump module eeprom")
