PHYs that are within copper SFP modules have their MDIO bus accessible through address 0x56 (usually) on the i2c bus. The MDIO-I2C bridge is desgned for 16 bits accesses, but we can also perform 8bits accesses by reading/writing the high and low bytes sequentially. This commit adds support for this type of accesses, thus supporting smbus controllers such as the one in the VSC8552. This was only tested on Copper SFP modules that embed a Marvell 88e1111 PHY.

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 reStructuredText 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.
