A patch can be found in OpenNetworkLinux: https:/
It should be safe to include this in an SRU release since the new code is only functioning when certain ID is found.

SRU justification: The igb driver fails to work when using Broadcom 54616 as PHY, thus we need this patch to enable MAAS so that it can use the management interface on switch platforms that contain this Broadcom chipset.
