Without this patch sfp code retries to read the full struct sfp_eeprom_id id out of the SFP eeprom. Sizeof(id) is 96 bytes. My i2c hardware, Mediatek mt7621, has a rx buffer of 64 bytes. So sfp_read gets -NOSUPPORTED back on his turn return -EAGAIN. Same issue is with the SFP_EXT_STATUS data which is 92 bytes.
By split-up the request in multiple smaller requests with a max size of i2c max_read_len, we can readout the SFP module successfully. Tested with MT7621 and two Fiberstore modules SFP-GB-GE-T and SFP-GE-BX.
