When dealing with some copper modules, we can't positively know the
module capabilities are until we have probed the PHY. Without the full
capabilities, we may end up failing a module that we could otherwise
drive with a restricted set of capabilities.
An example of this would be a module with a NBASE-T PHY plugged into
a host that supports phy interface modes 2500BASE-X and SGMII. The
PHY supports 10GBASE-R, 5000BASE-X, 2500BASE-X, SGMII interface modes,
which means a subset of the capabilities are compatible with the host.
However, reading the module EEPROM leads us to believe that the module
only supports ethtool link mode 10GBASE-T, which is incompatible with
the host - and thus results in the module being rejected.
This patch adds an extra notification which are triggered after the
SFP module's PHY probe, and a corresponding notification just before
the PHY is removed.
