Subject: [net-next 15/15] net/mlx5e: Remove overzealous validations in netlink EEPROM query

From: Gal Pressman <gal@...dia.com>

Unlike the legacy EEPROM callbacks, when using the netlink EEPROM query
(get_module_eeprom_by_page) the driver should not try to validate the
query parameters, but just perform the read requested by the userspace.
