Ido Schimmel eaa517b77e ethtool: cmis_cdb: Fix incorrect read / write length extension
The 'read_write_len_ext' field in 'struct ethtool_cmis_cdb_cmd_args'
stores the maximum number of bytes that can be read from or written to
the Local Payload (LPL) page in a single multi-byte access.

Cited commit started overwriting this field with the maximum number of
bytes that can be read from or written to the Extended Payload (LPL)
pages in a single multi-byte access. Transceiver modules that support
auto paging can advertise a number larger than 255 which is problematic
as 'read_write_len_ext' is a 'u8', resulting in the number getting
truncated and firmware flashing failing [1].

Fix by ignoring the maximum EPL access size as the kernel does not
currently support auto paging (even if the transceiver module does) and
will not try to read / write more than 128 bytes at once.

[1]
Transceiver module firmware flashing started for device enp177s0np0
Transceiver module firmware flashing in progress for device enp177s0np0
Progress: 0%
Transceiver module firmware flashing encountered an error for device enp177s0np0
Status message: Write FW block EPL command failed, LPL length is longer
	than CDB read write length extension allows.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
