I assume you're aware of this, but there are some interesting changes in
that driver between v4.19.34 and v4.19.118

The net effect seems to be that they removed the part that actually made
DOM reading work. Makes me wonder what happens if you revert both those
patches?  I don't have the hardware, so I can't test..

This issue might also be fixed in mainline with the more generic high
page support for QSFP28 and QSFP+?
