mlxsw: Speed up transceiver module EEPROM dump
Ido Schimmel writes:
Old firmware versions could only read up to 48 bytes from a transceiver
module's EEPROM in one go. Newer versions can read up to 128 bytes,
resulting in fewer transactions.
Query support for the new capability during driver initialization and if
supported, read up to 128 bytes in one go.
This is going to be especially useful for upcoming transceiver module
firmware flashing support.
Before:
# perf stat -e devlink:devlink_hwmsg -- ethtool -m swp11 page 0x1 offset 128 length 128 i2c 0x50
[...]
Performance counter stats for 'ethtool -m swp11 page 0x1 offset 128 length 128 i2c 0x50':
3 devlink:devlink_hwmsg
After:
# perf stat -e devlink:devlink_hwmsg -- ethtool -m swp11 page 0x1 offset 128 length 128 i2c 0x50
[...]
Performance counter stats for 'ethtool -m swp11 page 0x1 offset 128 length 128 i2c 0x50':
1 devlink:devlink_hwmsg
Patches #1-#4 are preparations / cleanups.
Patch #5 adds support for the new read size.

============
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.
