Was this working on a previous release and broke in 2.7.0? Or has this never worked?

It was working on 2.6.0.

Actually, functionality was added on 2.6.0

I don't see the module in the builds or in the kernel configuration, but the string for it is still in MODULES_OVERRIDE as though it should be included. It's possible something in that driver changed upstream.

Well, then we cannot update to 2.7.0 from 2.6.0 unless the driver is included in 2.7.x.
We are using Synology E10G21-F2 network card with 2 x 10G SFP+ ports that is based on Marvell FastLinQ 41000 Series network card. The card works fine in 2.6.0 version, for connection with WAN and LAN switches.
Is there any work-around to resolve this issue in 2.7.0?

I see the problem. I'm running a test build now to confirm. This will be resolved in the next release.
