1G Cu SFPs are not officially supported on the X552/X553 family of devices
but treat them as 1G SX modules since they usually work.  Print a warning
though since support isn't validated, similar to what already happens for
other unofficially supported SFPs enabled via the allow_unsupported_sfps
parameter inherited from the mainline Linux driver.
