Similar to the ixgbe issue fixed in:
655c914145 ("ixgbe: Check DDM existence in transceiver before access)
i40e has the same issue when reading eeprom from SFP's module that comply
with SFF-8472 but not implement the Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM)
interface described in it. The existence of such area is specified by bit
6 of byte 92, set to 1 if implemented.
Without this patch, due to not checking this bit i40e fails to read SFP
module's eeprom with the follow message:
ethtool -m enP51p1s0f0
Cannot get Module EEPROM data: Input/output error
Because it fails to read the additional 256 bytes in which it was assumed
to exist the DDM data.
