[ Upstream commit 4998006c73afe44e2f639d55bd331c6c26eb039f ]
SFP+ active and passive cables are copper cables with fixed SFP+ end
connectors. Due to a misinterpretation of this, SFP+ active cables could
end up not being recognized, causing the driver to fail to establish a
connection.
Introduce a new enum in SFP+ cable types, XGBE_SFP_CABLE_FIBER, that is
the default cable type, and handle active and passive cables when they are
specifically detected.

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.
