Some multigig SFPs from RollBall and Hilink do not expose functional
MDIO access to the internal PHY of the SFP via I2C address 0x56
(although there seems to be read-only clause 22 access on this address).
Instead these SFPs PHY can be accessed via I2C via the SFP Enhanced
Digital Diagnostic Interface - I2C address 0x51. The SFP_PAGE has to be
selected to 3 and the password must be filled with 0xff bytes for this
PHY communication to work.
This extends the mdio-i2c driver to support this protocol by adding a
special parameter to mdio_i2c_alloc function via which this RollBall
protocol can be selected.
