Would it not be possible to disable dying gasp (assuming I can access
the module using some other hardware)?

Sorry, this will not work. The MA5671A modules are configured to use
dying gasp on pin 7, and pin 7 is grounded on the Armada 388 Clearfog
platforms, resulting in the module not booting.
I'm sorry, I can't recommend a module; I don't use SFP GPON modules
myself.

Hey, has anyone got the ClearFog (ARMADA 388 SoC) to work with the
MA5671A? I've to been trying to get the ClearFog to read the
MA5671A's
EEPROM however it always throws the following error:
> # dmesg | grep sfp
> [ 4.550651] sfp sfp: Host maximum power 2.0W
> [ 5.875047] sfp sfp: please wait, module slow to respond

I've tried to increase the retry timeout in `/drivers/net/phy/sfp.c`
(i.e. T_PROBE_RETRY_SLOW) so far, any suggestions would be
appreciated.
Also, I'm on kernel version 5.9.13.
