Extend MCIA (Management Cable Info Access Register) with new field specifying the slot number. The purpose of this field is to support access to MCIA register for reading cage cable information on modular system. For non-modular systems the 'module' number uniquely identifies the transceiver location. For modular systems the transceivers are identified by two indexes: - 'slot_index', specifying the slot number, where line card is located; - 'module', specifying cage transceiver within the line card.

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.
