[ Upstream commit cf18cecca911c0db96b868072665347efe6df46f ] Some transceivers may comply with SFF-8472 even though they do not implement the Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM) interface described in the spec. The existence of such area is specified by the 6th bit of byte 92, set to 1 if implemented. Currently, without checking this bit, bnx2x fails trying to read sfp module's EEPROM with the follow message: ethtool -m enP5p1s0f1 Cannot get Module EEPROM data: Input/output error Because it fails to read the additional 256 bytes in which it is assumed to exist the DDM data. This issue was noticed using a Mellanox Passive DAC PN 01FT738. The EEPROM data was confirmed by Mellanox as correct and similar to other Passive DACs from other manufacturers.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
