Subject: net: sfp: report error on failure to read sfp soft status
Patch-mainline: v5.6-rc1
Git-commit: 0dea4d039a7fdd97790a71da37c1ce67a5b52769
References: bsc#1176447

Report a rate-limited error if we fail to read the SFP soft status,
and preserve the current status in that case. This avoids I2C bus
errors from triggering a link flap.
