Due to HW/FW limitation, page A2h (I2C 0x51) may not be available.
Do not mask the problem so the userspace can properly handle it.

When returning the error to the userspace, use -EIO instead of
"err" because it holds MAD_STATUS.

Fixes: f5826c8c9d57 ("net/mlx4_en: Fix wrong return value on ioctl EEPROM query failure")
Fixes: 32a173c7f9e9 ("net/mlx4_core: Introduce mlx4_get_module_info for cable module info reading")

here you are masking also all other explicit error paths of
mlx4_get_module_info(), what is not good in general, I would instead
mask below (see next comment)

this is the only place that mlx4_get_module_info() returns non standard
error code so, I believe, it's here where we want to overwrite with -EIO

then you could limit to just a single Fixes: tag (the second one)

I agree, for this reason mlx4_get_module_info() seems to be a much better choice.
Will update, thanks!

Sure, I can handle it in mlx4_get_module_info(). I will also need to
cover the return from the call to mlx4_get_module_id() however.

Thanks,
 Krzysztof
