4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Easwar Hariharan <[email protected]> [ Upstream commit fb897ad315643e5dc1092a115b3cec914b66df9d ] Attempting to read the status of a QSFP cable creates noise in the logs and misses out on setting an appropriate Offline/Disabled Reason if the cable is not plugged in. Check for this prior to attempting the read and attendant retries.
