There are two ways to retrieve information from SFP EEPROMs. Many devices make use of the common code, and assign the sfp_bus pointer in the netdev to point to the bus holding the SFP device. Some MAC drivers directly implement ops in there ethool structure. Export within net/ethtool the two helpers used to call these methods, so that they can also be used in the new netlink code.

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 Restructured Text 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.
