[c-nsp] DOM for 6724, could it be??

[Chris Griffin]

Unfortunately this does appear to be hardware related and not so much 
code related.  Did some checks and HW 3.0 and 3.1 6724s read the DOM 
information, 2.4 and 2.3 do not.  It even works on SXF9.

My guess is SX_SFP are the newer SFP-GE-S guys.  If it turns out to be 
an improvement to 3.0+ revs of the 6724, I sure hope they come out with 
a unique partnumber for it so I can be assured that all future purchases 
have that capability.  You think they would have learned from the whole 
Xenpack thing (and hence we now have Xenpack+'s).  This does seem to 
indicate that earlier boards are not hardware capable of reading the 
information which is a bit depressing...

Thanks
Chris
