phylink,sfp: negotiate interface format with MAC
Negotiate the interface format with the MAC rather than requiring it to be a fixed type specified solely by the SFP module. This allows modules that can work with several different interface signalling formats to select a format compatible with the MAC - for example, a Fiber module supporing Gigabit ethernet and faster connected to a Gigabit only MAC needs to select the 1000BASE-X mode.
