It has been  verified that the driver in kernel version 5.4.255 seems to work 
aka 1.3 VyOS.  Post from another user in the same thread about it: 
https://forum.vyos.io/t/10g-sfp-trouble-with-linking-intel-x553/12253/46

I have also verified that the out-of-tree ixgbe driver does work, but in-kernel 
doesn't in kernel 6.1.58.

Please share these findings with the correct Intel team so that this could be 
fixed.
