Does the hardware support 1000BaseX? Often the hardware implementing
SGMII can also do 1000BaseX, since SGMII is an extended/hacked up
1000BaseX.
If you have an SFP connected to the SERDES, a fibre module will want
1000BaseX and a copper module will want SGMII. phylink will tell you
what phy-mode you need to use depending on what module is in the
socket. This however might be a mute point, since both of these are
probably using the SGMII clocks.
Of the other MII modes listed, it is very unlikely a runtime swap will
occur.
