mlxsw: core_env: Forbid getting module EEPROM on RJ45 ports
MCIA (Management Cable Info Access) register is not supported on RJ45 ports, so getting module EEPROM should be rejected. Therefore, before trying to access this register, validate the port module type that was queried during initialization and return an error to user space in case the port module type is RJ45 (twisted pair). Examples for output when trying to get EEPROM module: Using netlink: # ethtool -m swp1 netlink error: mlxsw_core: EEPROM is not equipped on port module type netlink error: Invalid argument Using IOCTL: # ethtool -m swp1 Cannot get module EEPROM information: Invalid argument $ dmesg mlxsw_spectrum 0000:03:00.0 swp1: EEPROM is not equipped on port module type Signed-off-by: Danielle Ratson <danieller@nvidia.com> Signed-off-by: Ido Schimmel <idosch@nvidia.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
