Re: [PATCH v2] eeprom/optoe: driver to read/write SFP/QSFP/CMIS EEPROMS

In my community, the SFP/QSFP/CMIS devices (32 to 128 of them per switch)
often cost more than the switch itself.  Consumers (both vendors and
customers) extensively test these devices to ensure correct and reliable
operation.  Then they buy them literally by the millions.  Quirks lead to
quick rejection in favor of reliable parts from reliable vendors.  In this
environment, for completely different reasons, optoe does not need to handle
quirks.

Well, if optoe were to be merged, it would not be just for your
community. It has to work for everybody who wants to use the Linux
kernel with an SFP. You cannot decide to add a KAPI which just
supports a subset of SFPs. It needs to support as many as possible,
warts and all.

So how would you handle these SFPs with the optoe KAPI?
