Subject: [PATCH v2] ixgbe: Treat 1G Cu SFPs as 1G SX for X550EM

X550EM NICs do not support 1G Cu SFPs by default from Intel, this patch
enables treating these SFPs as 1G SX SFPs via a module parameter similar to
the parameter that allows the driver to be able to recognize unsupported
(by Intel) SFPs.

Signed-off-by: Jeff Daly <jeffd@...icom-usa.com>

v2:
* Make module_param option a boolean, fix commit message.
