Subject: [PATCH net-next v2 1/2] net: phy: sfp: Add support for SMBus module access

The SFP module's eeprom and internals are accessible through an i2c bus.
However, all the i2c transfers that are performed are SMBus-style
transfers for read and write operations.

It is possible that the SFP might be connected to an SMBus-only
controller, such as the one found in some PHY devices in the VSC85xx
family.

Introduce a set of sfp read/write ops that are going to be used if the
i2c bus is only capable of doing smbus byte accesses.

As Single-byte SMBus transaction go against SFF-8472 and breaks the
atomicity for diagnostics data access, hwmon is disabled in the case
of SMBus access.

Moreover, as this may cause other instabilities, print a warning at
probe time to indicate that the setup may be unreliable because of the
hardware design.

Tested-by: Sean Anderson <sean.anderson@...ux.dev>
Signed-off-by: Maxime Chevallier <maxime.chevallier@...tlin.com>

V2: - Added Sean's tested-by
    - Added a warning indicating that operations won't be reliable, from
      Russell and Andrew's reviews
    - Also added a flag saying we're under a single-byte-access bus, to
      both print the warning and disable hwmon.
