please apply this patch also to Linux stable down to v6.4 which are
affected by problems introduced by commit 8110633db49d ("net: sfp-bus:
allow SFP quirks to override Autoneg and pause bits").

The fix has been applied to net tree as commit 97eb5d51b4a5 ("net:
sfp-bus: fix SFP mode detect from bitrate") but never picked for older
kernel versions affected as well.


Thank you!


Daniel
