net: dsa: mv88e6xxx: Default ports 9/10 6390X CMODE to 1000BaseX
The 6390X family has 8 SERDES interfaces. This allows ports 9 and 10 to support up to 10Gbps using 4 SERDES interfaces. However, when lower speeds are used, which need fewer SERDES interfaces, the unused SERDES interfaces can be used by ports 2-8. The hardware defaults to ports 9 and 10 having all 4 SERDES interfaces assigned to them. This only gets changed when the interface is configured after what the SFP supports has been determined, or the 10G PHY completes auto-neg. For hardware designs which limit ports 9 and 10 to one or two SERDES interfaces, and place SFPs on the lower interfaces, this is too late. Those ports with SFP should not wait until ports 9/10 are up in order to get access to the SERDES interface. So change the default configuration when the driver is initialised. Configure ports 9 and 10 to 1000BaseX, so they use a single SERDES interface, freeing up the others. They can steal them back if they need them.
