net: sfp: read eeprom in maximum 16 byte increments



commit 28e74a7c upstream.

Some SFP modules do not like reads longer than 16 bytes, so read the
EEPROM in chunks of 16 bytes at a time.  This behaviour is not specified
in the SFP MSAs, which specifies:

 "The serial interface uses the 2-wire serial CMOS E2PROM protocol
  defined for the ATMEL AT24C01A/02/04 family of components."

and

 "As long as the SFP+ receives an acknowledge, it shall serially clock
  out sequential data words. The sequence is terminated when the host
  responds with a NACK and a STOP instead of an acknowledge."

We must avoid breaking a read across a 16-bit quantity in the diagnostic
page, thankfully all 16-bit quantities in that page are naturally
aligned.
