Subject: [PATCH v3 1/2] net: sfp: add workaround for Realtek RTL8672 and RTL9601C chips

From: Pali Rohár <[email-masked]>
Date: Mon, 11 Jan 2021 12:39:08 +0100

Workaround for GPON SFP modules based on VSOL V2801F brand was added in
commit 0d035bed2a4a ("net: sfp: VSOL V2801F / CarlitoxxPro CPGOS03-0490
v2.0 workaround"). But it works only for ids explicitly added to the list.
As there are more rebraded VSOL V2801F modules and OEM vendors are putting
into vendor name random strings we cannot build workaround based on ids.

Moreover issue which that commit tried to workaround is generic not only to
VSOL based modules, but rather to all GPON modules based on Realtek RTL8672
and RTL9601C chips.

They can be found for example in following GPON modules:
* V-SOL V2801F
* C-Data FD511GX-RM0
* OPTON GP801R
* BAUDCOM BD-1234-SFM
* CPGOS03-0490 v2.0
* Ubiquiti U-Fiber Instant
* EXOT EGS1

Those Realtek chips have broken EEPROM emulator which for N-byte read
operation returns just one byte of EEPROM data followed by N-1 zeros.

So introduce a new function sfp_id_needs_byte_io() which detects SFP
modules with these Realtek chips which have broken EEPROM emulator based on
N-1 zeros and switch to 1 byte EEPROM reading operation which workaround
this issue.

Function sfp_i2c_read() now always use single byte reading when it is
required and when function sfp_hwmon_probe() detects single byte access
then it disable registration of hwmon device. As in this case we cannot
reliable and atomically read 2 bytes as it is required for retrieving some
values from diagnostic area.

These Realtek chips are broken in a way that violate SFP standards for
diagnostic interface. Kernel in this case cannot do anything, only skipping
registration of hwmon interface.

This patch fixes reading of EEPROM content from SFP modules based on
Realtek RTL8672 and RTL9601C chips. Diagnostic interface of EEPROM stay
broken and cannot be fixed.

Changes in v2:
* Add explanation why also for second address is used one byte read op
* Skip hwmon registration when eeprom does not support atomic 16bit read op

Changes in v3:
* Do not break longer info messages
* Do not read memory after the end of buffer in sfp_id_needs_byte_io()
* Add comments for default i2c_block_size and Nokia 3FE46541AA module
