> This patch does two things:
> 1) On 82599, the PHY is emedded in the MAC.  On 82598, the SFP+ NIC has an external PHY.  The reset in the SFP+ setup patch for 82598 is unnecessary on 82599, and adds extra dead time to device initialization.  This removes that PHY reset for 82599 only.
> 
> 2) On 82599, the SFP+ modules are multispeed fiber modules (10G/1G).  We need to make sure to identify them properly for the remaining init sections to properly set them up.
