> 
> When querying the NVM for supported phy_types, on some firmware
> versions, we were failing to actually fill out the phy_types which means
> ethtool wouldn't report any link types.
> 
> Testing-hints:
> Check 'ethtool <iface>' if you have the right (wrong?) firmware.
> Without this patch, no link modes will be reported.
