This patchset prepares ethtool(8) for retrieval and parsing of optional
and banked module EEPROM pages, such as the ones present in CMIS. This
is done by better integration of the recent 'MODULE_EEPROM_GET' netlink
interface into ethtool(8).

I still need to take a closer look at some of the patches but just to be
sure: the only reason to leave this series for 5.16 cycle is that it's
rather big and intrusive change (i.e. it does not depend on any kernel
functionality not present in 5.15), right?

Right, it does not depend on any kernel functionality not present in
5.15
