Add an extended state and sub-state to describe link issues related to transceiver modules. The 'ETHTOOL_LINK_EXT_SUBSTATE_MODULE_CMIS_NOT_READY' extended sub-state tells user space that port is unable to gain a carrier because the CMIS Module State Machine did not reach the ModuleReady (Fully Operational) state. For example, if the module is stuck at ModuleLowPwr or ModuleFault state. In case of the latter, user space can read the fault reason from the module's EEPROM and potentially reset it.

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.
