Kind of exist, unofficially. Some vendors run SGMII over clocked at
2500. But there is no standard for it, and it is unclear how inband
signalling should work. Whenever i see code saying 2.5G SGMII, i
always ask, are you sure, is it really 2500BaseX? Mostly it gets
changed to 2500BaseX after review.

PHY mode sgmii-2500 does not exist in mainline.
