When a module is inserted, we attempt to read read the ID from address 0x50. Once we are able to read the ID, we immediately attempt to initialise the hwmon support by reading from address 0x51. If this fails, then we fall into error state, and assume that the module is not usable. Modules such as the ALCATELLUCENT 3FE46541AA use a real EEPROM for I2C address 0x50, which responds immediately. However, address 0x51 is an emulated, which only becomes available once the on-board firmware has booted. This prompts us to fall into the error state. Since the module may be usable without diagnostics, arrange for the hwmon probe independent of the rest of the SFP itself, retrying every 5s for up to about 60s for the monitoring to become available, and print an error message if it doesn't become available.

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.
