Subject: [PATCH net 3/5] i40e: Add additional info to PHY type error

From: Lukasz Cieplicki <lukaszx.cieplicki@...el.com>

In case of PHY type error occurs, the message was too generic.
Add additional info to PHY type error indicating that it can be
wrong cable connected.

Fixes: 124ed15bf126 ("i40e: Add dual speed module support")
