Module eeprom with i40e and XL710-QDA1

Hi Intel,

I would like to read-out the module eeprom of QSFP transceiver connected to a XL710-QDA1 NIC.

The naive approach failed:  ethtool -m eth0. It reports: "Cannot get module EEPROM information: Operation not supported"

Is this feature supported by the NIC and the Intel driver i40e?

I am using the following driver and firmware:

driver version: 2.0.23

firmware-version: 5.05 0x800028a2 1.1568.0

Thanks and kind regards
