The behavior looks to have always been since support was introduced
with f96a8a0b7854 ("igb: Add Support for new i210/i211 devices."). I
was unable to determine the original reason for excluding it so I was
planning on sending through net-next as added functionality, however, I
will go ahead and send this through net and add it to the current
series that I need to make changes to.

Thanks,
