commit 5765cee119bf5a36c94d20eceb37c445508934be upstream.
Commit 7cfa9c92d0a3 ("net: sfp: avoid power switch on address-change
modules") unintetionally changed the semantics for high power modules
without the digital diagnostics monitoring. We repeatedly attempt to
read the power status from the non-existing 0xa2 address in a futile
hope this failure is temporary:
[ 8.856051] sfp sfp-eth3: module NTT 0000000000000000 rev 0000 sn 0000000000000000 dc 160408
[ 8.865843] mvpp2 f4000000.ethernet eth3: switched to inband/1000base-x link mode
[ 8.873469] sfp sfp-eth3: Failed to read EEPROM: -5
[ 8.983251] sfp sfp-eth3: Failed to read EEPROM: -5
[ 9.103250] sfp sfp-eth3: Failed to read EEPROM: -5
We previosuly assumed such modules were powered up in the correct mode,
continuing without further configuration as long as the required power
class was supported by the host.
Restore this behaviour, while preserving the intent of subsequent
patches to avoid the "Address Change Sequence not supported" warning
if we are not going to be accessing the DDM address.

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.
