Yes, we want to support SFP+.
10G is tested in fixed mode on SFP+.
Based on your suggestions, dynamic switching of PHY interface is handled.
And check in probe is for hardware support for user selected interface,
which can be moved to validate callback but then supported mask will be empty.

1000Base-X and 10GBASE-R supported by separate PCS.
