AI code review says:

 Should this return the number of bytes written instead of 0?

 The existing sfp_i2c_write() returns the byte count on success, and several
 callers depend on this return value:

 sfp_cotsworks_fixup_check() checks:
    err = sfp_write(sfp, false, SFP_PHYS_ID, &id->base, 3);
    if (err != 3) { ... error path ... }

 sfp_sm_mod_hpower() via sfp_modify_u8() checks:
    if (err != sizeof(u8)) { ... error path ... }

 With this function returning 0 on success, these checks will always fail,
 causing high-power SFP modules to fail initialization with "failed to enable
 high power" errors, and Cotsworks module EEPROM fixups to fail with "Failed
 to rewrite module EEPROM" errors.

Either way, you'll need to repost, net-next was closed when you posted.
