The driver queries the Management Capabilities Mask (MCAM) register
during initialization to understand if it can read up to 128 bytes from
transceiver modules.
However, not all firmware versions support this register, leading to the
driver failing to load.
Fix by treating an error in the register query as an indication that the
feature is not supported.

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 reStructuredText 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.
