Single-Mode fiber
The initialization of a 10G-BX SFP+ is the same as for a 10G SX/LX module,
and is identified according to SFF-8472 table 5-3, footnote 3 by the
10G Ethernet Compliance Codes field being empty, the Nominal Bit
Rate being compatible with 12.5GBit, and the module being a fiber module
with a Single Mode fiber link length.
This was tested using a Lightron WSPXG-HS3LC-IEA 1270/1330nm 10km

Unfortunately I do not see the original patch on the mailing list
*intel-wired-lan*, and lore.kernel.org also does not have it [1].
Kind regards,
