Subject: [RFC PATCH V4 net-next 0/5] ethtool: Extend module EEPROM dump API

Ethtool supports module EEPROM dumps via the `ethtool -m <dev>` command.
But in current state its functionality is limited - offset and length
parameters, which are used to specify a linear desired region of EEPROM
data to dump, is not enough, considering emergence of complex module
EEPROM layouts such as CMIS 4.0.
Moreover, CMIS 4.0 extends the amount of pages that may be accessible by
introducing another parameter for page addressing - banks.

Besides, currently module EEPROM is represented as a chunk of
concatenated pages, where lower 128 bytes of all pages, except page 00h,
are omitted. Offset and length are used to address parts of this fake
linear memory. But in practice drivers, which implement
get_module_info() and get_module_eeprom() ethtool ops still calculate
page number and set I2C address on their own.

This series tackles these issues by adding ethtool op, which allows to
pass page number, bank number and I2C address in addition to offset and
length parameters to the driver, adds corresponding netlink
infrastructure and implements the new interface in mlx5 driver.

This allows to extend userspace 'ethtool -m' CLI by adding new
parameters - page, bank and i2c. New command line format:
 ethtool -m <dev> [hex on|off] [raw on|off] [offset N] [length N] [page N] [bank N] [i2c N]

The consequence of this series is a possibility to dump arbitrary EEPROM
page at a time, in contrast to dumps of concatenated pages. Therefore,
offset and length change their semantics and may be used only to specify
a part of data within a page, which size is currently limited to 256
bytes.

As for backwards compatibility with get_module_info() and
get_module_eeprom() pair, the series addresses it as well by
implementing a fallback mechanism. As mentioned earlier, drivers derive
a page number from 'global' offset, so this can be done vice versa
without their involvement thanks to standardization. If kernel netlink
handler of 'ethtool -m' command detects that new ethtool op is not
supported by the driver, it calculates offset from given page number and
page offset and calls old ndos, if they are available.

Change log:
v3 -> v4:
- Renamed many identifiers to use 'eeprom' instead of 'eeprom_data'.
- Renamed netlink enums and defines to use 'MODULE_EEPROM' instead of
   'EEPROM_DATA'.
- Renamed struct ethtool_eeprom_data to ethtool_module_eeprom.
- Added MODULE_EEPROM_MAX_OFFSET (257 * 256) macro and check global offset
    against it to avoid overflow.
- Removed ndo pointer check from _parse_request().
- Removed separate length element from netlink response.
- Limited reads to 128 bytes without crossing half page bound.

v2 -> v3:
- Removed page number limitations
- Added length limit when page is present in fallback
- Changed page, bank and i2c_address type to u8 all over the patchset
- Added 0x51 I2C address usage increasing offset by 256 for SFP

v1 -> v2:
- Limited i2c_address values by 127
- Added page bound check for offset and length
- Added defines for these two points
- Added extack to ndo parameters
- Moved ethnl_ops_begin(dev) and set error path accordingly
