On my tested CarlitoxxPro module is:
Option values : 0x00 0x1c
Option : RX_LOS implemented, inverted
Option : TX_FAULT implemented
Option : TX_DISABLE implemented
When cable is disconnected then in EEPROM at position 0x16e is value
0x82. If I call 'ip link set eth1 up' then value changes to 0x02, module
itself has a link and I can connect to its internal telnet/webserver to
configure it.
When cable is connected but connection is not established by OLT then
this value is 0x80. If I call 'ip link set eth1 up' then value changes
to 0x00 and kernel does not see a link (no carrier).
So it seems that RX_LOS (bit 1 of 0x16e EEPROM) and also TX_DISABLE (bit
7 of 0x16e EEPROM) is implemented and working properly.
And therefore we should allow access to these bits.
I also tested UBNT module and result is:
Option values : 0x00 0x06
Option : RX_LOS implemented
Option : RX_LOS implemented, inverted
Which means that those bits are not implemented.
Anyway I check position 0x16e and value on its value is randomly either
0x79 or 0xff independently of the state of the GPON module.
So it is really not implemented on UBNT.
