Some clone SFP modules (notably XGS-PON ONT sticks) ship malformed EEPROMs where the vendor PN field is filled with non-printable garbage past the trailing legitimate characters instead of SFF-8472 mandated space padding. The current sfp_match() requires an exact full-field length match: sfp_strlen() returns 16 (no trailing spaces or NULs to strip), but strlen() of the quirk string is shorter, so the length comparison rejects the entry before strncmp() is even called and the quirk silently never applies. The kernel then honors the module's spurious TX_FAULT signal and the SFP state machine eventually disables the module. Add a prefix_match flag to struct sfp_quirk and a SFP_QUIRK_F_PREFIX macro. When set, sfp_match() compares only strlen() leading bytes of the quirk string, ignoring trailing field bytes. Existing exact-match quirks are unaffected (prefix_match defaults to false via zero-init in the existing SFP_QUIRK macros).
