With some SFP modules, such as Finisar FCLF8522P2BTL, the PHY hardware strapping defaults to 1000BaseX mode, but the kernel prefers to set them for SGMII mode. When this happens and the PHY is soft reset, the BMSR status register is updated, but this happens after the kernel has already read the PHY abilities during probing. This results in support not being detected for, and the PHY not advertising support for, 10 and 100 Mbps modes, preventing the link from working with a non-gigabit link partner. When the PHY is being configured for SGMII mode, call genphy_read_abilities again in order to re-read the capabilities, and update the advertising field accordingly.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
