The ixgbe driver did not support the 1000BASE-BX standard so for example FS.com
SFP-GE-BX 1310/1490nm 10km transceiver received an unsupported module error even
with allow_unsupported_sfp enabled.
To solve this problem I created a patch that was accepted by Linux upstream
(https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/1b43e0d20f2d007ec4c124b0deaa848ff8d61f4a)
so starting from kernel 6.9 the ixgbe driver will have 1000BASE-BX support,
however VyOS uses the out of tree driver so it is necessary to backport the patch.

is undefined
This extends an else path with the logic from commit ea7d59a4b ("ixgbe: T6155:
always enable allow_unsupported_sfp for all NICs by default")

In-tree vs. Out-Of-Tree drivers differ in the way how unsupported transceivers
are defined (uint vs array of int) for the Kernel module parameters.
This results in:
kernel: ixgbe 0000:5e:00.0: failed to initialize because an unsupported SFP+ module type was detected.
kernel: ixgbe 0000:5e:00.0: Reload the driver after installing a supported module.
kernel: ixgbe 0000:5e:00.0: removed PHC on eth6
This patch always enables unsupported SFP+ modules as wo do anyway from
the userspace but only for the first port.
