Hi Antoine

At the moment there is no PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_2500SGMII. However,
there are some devices which can do 2.5G SGMII. So it will appear
sometime. This piece of code then looks even stranger.

I think from an API design point of view, passing PHY_MODE_2500BASEX
to comphy makes more sense. That is what the MAC wants to do. How the
comphy achieves that should be internal to the comphy.
