ixgbe: fix detection of SFP+ capable interfaces
In cases where the driver is loaded while there are no SFP+ modules in the cage the interface was not being detected as SFP capable. To account for this the driver called identify_sfp in ixgbe_get_settings to make sure the data is correct. However when there is no SFP+ module in the cage the driver waits for the I2C reads to time out which can take more than a second and will cause issues with tools (like net-snmp) that may poll for that information. This patch resolves the issue by identifying interfaces with no PHY type set as SFP capable which allows the driver to detect the SFP module when the interface is brought up. As result of this we can also remove the identify_sfp call from ixgbe_get_settings. v2: remove the 82599 specific check since we have 82598 devices that are SFP capable.
