Which kernel version are you using?

Do you have CONFIG_SFP and CONFIG_MARVELL_10G_PHY enabled?

You might need kernel commit 01b3fd5ac97c ("net: mvpp2: fix detection of
10G SFP modules") from v4.20-rc6 for 10G configuration.

To the best of my knowledge the 10G PHY automatically selects the active
port between copper and SFP.
