Andrew reports that the SFF modules on one of the ZII platforms do not
indicate link up due to the SFP code believing that LOS indicating that
there is no signal being received from the remote end, but in fact the
LOS signal is showing that there is signal.
What makes SFF modules different from SFPs is they typically have an
inverted LOS, which uncovered this issue. When we read the hardware
state, we mask it with state_hw_mask so we ignore anything we're not
interested in. However, we don't re-read when state_hw_mask changes,
leading to sfp->state being stale.
Arrange for a software poll of the module state after we have parsed
the EEPROM in sfp_sm_mod_probe() and updated state_*_mask. This will
generate any necessary events for signal changes for the state
machine as well as updating sfp->state.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
