The new netlink API for reading SFP data requires a new op to be
implemented. The idea of the new netlink SFP code is that userspace is
responsible to parsing the EEPROM data and requesting pages, rather
than have the kernel decide what pages are interesting and returning
them. This allows greater flexibility for newer formats.
Currently the generic SFP code only supports simple SFPs. Allow i2c
address 0x50 and 0x51 to be accessed with page and bank must always be
0. This interface will later be extended when for example QSFP support
is added.

When dealing with some copper modules, we can't positively know the
module capabilities are until we have probed the PHY. Without the full
capabilities, we may end up failing a module that we could otherwise
drive with a restricted set of capabilities.
An example of this would be a module with a NBASE-T PHY plugged into
a host that supports phy interface modes 2500BASE-X and SGMII. The
PHY supports 10GBASE-R, 5000BASE-X, 2500BASE-X, SGMII interface modes,
which means a subset of the capabilities are compatible with the host.
However, reading the module EEPROM leads us to believe that the module
only supports ethtool link mode 10GBASE-T, which is incompatible with
the host - and thus results in the module being rejected.
This patch adds an extra notification which are triggered after the
SFP module's PHY probe, and a corresponding notification just before
the PHY is removed.

When we probe a SFP module, we expect to be able to call the upstream
device's module_insert() function so that the upstream link can be
configured. However, when the upstream device is delayed, we currently
may end up probing the module before the upstream device is available,
and lose the module_insert() call.
Avoid this by holding off probing the module until the SFP bus is
properly connected to both the SFP socket driver and the upstream
driver.
