> Hello,
> 
> Garbled output for "ethtool -m ethX", in igb-driven NICs with module /
> plugin EEPROM (i.e. SFP information). Each output data byte appears
> duplicated.
> 
> In igb_ethtool.c, igb_get_module_eeprom() is reading the EEPROM via i2c;
> the eeprom offset for each word that's read via igb_read_phy_reg_i2c()
> was passed in #words, whereas it needs to be a byte offset.
> This patches fixes the bug.

But functionally seems good.  I'll let Jeff choose whether to be a stickler for the warning or not, so...
