Ernesto Castellotti eadb871553 ixgbe: T6162: Add 1000BASE-BX support
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
(1b43e0d20f)
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.
