When an Marvell 88E1512 PHY is connected to a nic in SGMII mode, the fiber page is used for the SGMII host-side connection. The PHY driver notices that SUPPORTED_FIBRE is set, so it tries reading the fiber page for the link status, and ends up reading the MAC-side status instead of the outgoing (copper) link. This leads to incorrect results reported via ethtool.
If the PHY is connected via SGMII to the host, ignore the fiber page. However, continue to allow the existing power management code to suspend and resume the fiber page.
