Prevent reading unsupported slave address from SFP EEPROM by testing
Diagnostic Monitoring Type byte in EEPROM. Read only page zero of
EEPROM, in case this byte is zero.
If some SFP transceiver does not support Digital Optical Monitoring
(DOM), reading SFP EEPROM slave address 0x51 could return an error.
Availability of DOM support is verified by reading from zero page
Diagnostic Monitoring Type byte describing how diagnostic monitoring is
implemented by transceiver. If bit 6 of this byte is set, it indicates
that digital diagnostic monitoring has been implemented. Otherwise it is
not and transceiver could fail to reply to transaction for slave address
0x51 [1010001X (A2h)], which is used to access measurements page.
Such issue has been observed when reading cable MCP2M00-xxxx,
MCP7F00-xxxx, and few others.

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.
