[PATCH 1/1] common/sfc_efx/base: revise legacy port controls on Medford4

Theoretically, adaptor firmware may not support new netport API. Currently,
efx_np_supported() assumes Medford4 always supports the API, however, this
can be improved in the future by checking some capability bit during probe.
If efx_np_supported() returns B_FALSE, then one should not invoke Medford4
PHY and MAC methods that are inherently dependent on new netport API. Pick
EF10-generic PHY and MAC methods in this case to maintain legacy behaviour.

Fixes: d65a7129c413 ("common/sfc_efx/base: introduce Medford4 stub for PHY methods")
