This PD decodes the XFP I²C management interface structures/protocol.

XFP modules include an I²C interface, used to monitor and control various
aspects of the module. The specification defines an I²C slave at address
0x50 (0xa0) which returns 128 bytes of a standard structure ("lower memory"),
and, after setting a table number in lower memory, a set of 256 "higher
memory" tables, which can be mapped to different subdevices on the XFP.

Only one table is defined in the specification: table 0x01, the default on
module startup. Other table are either reserved for future expansion, or
available for vendor-specific extensions. This decoder supports both lower
memory and table 0x01.

The XFP specification is available here:
