Add module_dump_eeprom_page_hex() to module-common.c as the shared
building block for per-type EEPROM page hex dump functions.
It prints a per-page header (page number and optional bank) followed by
a hex dump in the established ethtool format, using dump_hex().

Restructure sff8079_show_all_nl() to first retrieve all the necessary
pages (A0h and optionally A2h) and then pretty-print them, matching the
pattern already used in cmis_show_all_nl() and sff8636_show_all_nl().
This prepares for the next patch which extends the function with a hex
dump mode.
Note that if reading A2h fails, the function now returns an error
without producing partial output, matching the behavior of the other
parsers.

Extend sff8079_show_all_nl(), cmis_show_all_nl() and
sff8636_show_all_nl() with a bool dump_pages parameter to support
hex dump output alongside their existing pretty-print output. Each
function first retrieves all the necessary pages and then either
pretty-prints them or performs a hex dump according to the argument.
The hex dump and pretty-print logic is extracted into dedicated static
functions for each parser type:
- cmis_hex_dump() / cmis_pretty_print()
- sff8636_hex_dump() / sff8636_pretty_print()
- sff8079_hex_dump() / sff8079_pretty_print()
Each function dumps the same pages as the corresponding pretty-printer:
- CMIS: uses cmis_memory_map_init_pages() to read the lower memory and
relevant upper pages across all supported banks, using generic iteration
over the memory map. Uses module_dump_eeprom_page_hex() for hex output.
- SFF-8636: uses sff8636_memory_map_init_pages() to read the lower memory
and relevant upper pages, using generic iteration over the memory map.
Uses module_dump_eeprom_page_hex() for hex output.
- SFF-8079: uses sff8079_get_eeprom_page() to read A0h lower and optional
A2h lower and identifies each block by its I2C address. Uses dump_hex()
directly with I2C address headers.

Add 'pages on|off' sub-option to 'hex on|off' for 'ethtool -m'.
When 'hex on pages on' is specified, eeprom_parse() dispatches to the
appropriate per-type function with dump_pages=true, producing a hex dump
of all relevant EEPROM pages with a per-page header showing the page
number and optional bank number.
eeprom_parse() is extended with a bool dump_pages parameter to select
between pretty-print and hex dump output, avoiding duplication of the
module-type dispatch logic.
Unlike plain 'hex on', 'hex on pages on' does not fall back to the ioctl
path, as page selection is handled internally by the per-type functions.
Unknown module types fall back to dumping the lower 128 bytes.
'pages' and 'hex' are both parsed as independent flat options, since the
parameter parser does not support context-dependent argument recognition.
The requirement for 'hex on' when using 'pages on' is enforced by an
explicit validation check.
Output example (values zeroed to omit vendor-specific identifiers):
$ ethtool -m swp61 hex on pages on

Note: 'Page: 0x0' appears twice in the output. The first block is the
lower memory (bytes 0x00-0x7f), which is always accessible. The second
block is upper memory page 00h (bytes 0x80-0xff). Both carry the same
page label but are distinguished by their offset range in the hex dump.

Add 'pages on|off' to the bash completion for ethtool -m and the
ethtool man page.
The man page documents that 'pages on' requires 'hex on', describes the
per-page header format, and notes that it cannot be combined with
offset, length, page, bank or i2c parameters.

Do we need the "pages on|off" switch? Is there a reason not to show the
full dump always (whenever possible) but only when requested explicitly?

Thanks for the feedback.
The reason for keeping the switch is backward compatibility: today's ethtool -m hex on produces a single flat hex dump, while the page-organized output has a different shape - per-page headers, blank lines and repeated column headers interleaved between hex rows. Scripts that parse today's output could break.
For comparison, today's hex on looks like (values zeroed):
$ ethtool -m swp61 hex on

vs. the page-organized output in the cover letter, where each page is preceded by a Page: header and a fresh Offset/------ block.
Since the format changes shape and not just size, we kept it opt-in via pages on so existing consumers are unaffected.
Are you OK with this even so it might break some existing usage?

Good point, there may indeed be existing scripts that would not handle
changed (default) output format. While I would personally prever the
binary dump for machine processing, people often parse text outputs that
were never meant to be used that way.
I suppose your approach is a safer choice then.

Maybe also add JSON? That would make machine parsing of this easier.

Hi,
Thanks for the feedback.
I can add JSON, but ill check it doesn’t expand the scope of this set too much. Otherwise, I think it might be better to have another series for that.
Thanks,
Danielle
