Please correct me if I'm wrong, but...
It looks like Eran's proposed fix would remove all warning and
alarm indications from ethtool's output. It's worth mentioning
that for me, the following fields always reported correctly
as Off while no alarm condition was present
and On while alarm condition(s) were present
*per the QSFP's true/programmed threshold values*
*not per the incorrectly reported threshold values*
Laser bias current high alarm (Chan 1) : Off

I would like to request that any fix keeps the above information
included in the ethtool -m output because it is working and valuable.
The only values that report incorrectly can be seen
by issuing the command:
ethtool -m interfaceXXX | grep threshold
Ideally, any fix would display the thresholds correctly
instead of omit them.
Thank you and best regards,
Chris
