Subject: [PATCH net-next 2/2] net: sfp: relax bitrate-derived mode check

Do not check the encoding when deriving 1000BASE-X from the bitrate
when no other modes are discovered. Some GPON modules (VSOL V2801F
and CarlitoxxPro CPGOS03-0490 v2.0) indicate NRZ encoding with a
1200Mbaud bitrate, but should be driven with 1000BASE-X on the host
side.
