Subject: [PATCH RFC net-next 2/3] net: phy: sfp: Issue warning when using Generic PHY driver(s)

1000BaseT SFP modules typically include an Ethernet PHY device, and
while the Generic PHY driver will be able to bind to it, it usually will
not work at all without a specialized PHY driver. Issue a warning in
that case to help toubleshoot things.
