SFPs do not specify their host interface - they specify a range of
parameters which describe the media side. Even then, it is not
unusual for various parameters in the EEPROM to be incorrect.
Also, 2500BASE-X at one end and 1000BASE-X at the other end is not
compatible - you won't even get synchronisation between the two ends,
so there's no possibility for passing any data about capabilities.
The idea is that if you have a module that can support 2500BASE-X and
1000BASE-X (such as a fibrechannel SFP) then, rather than being solidly
tied by the kernel to one or other of the speeds, you can request the
kernel use the other speed via ethtool - and switching between the two
requires changing the phy_interface_t setting.
