Ok, upon further experimentation, I can read out something reasonable by using the "consecutive byte" mode

# i2cdump -y -r 0-0x3f 2 0x56 c
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 a b c d e f 0123456789abcdef
00: 01 40 01 6d 01 41 0c c2 0c 01 c5 e1 00 0d 20 01 ?@?m?A??????.? ?
10: 59 f9 0e 00 78 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 f0 00 Y??.x.........?.
20: 00 78 ac 40 00 00 00 00 0c 68 00 00 00 00 00 00 .x?@....?h......
30: 41 00 00 00 00 0a 90 88 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 A....???........

I believe this is just doing i2c_smbus_write_byte+i2c_smbus_read_byte

S Addr Wr [A] Phyaddr [A] P
S Addr Rd [A] [DataHigh] NA P
S Addr Rd [A] [DataLow] NA P

as opposed to i2c_smbus_read_word_data

S Addr Wr [A] Phyaddr [A]
S Addr Rd [A] [DataHigh] A [DataLow] NA P

or i2c_smbus_read_word_data

S Addr Wr [A] Phyaddr [A]
S Addr Rd [A] [DataHigh] NA P
S Addr Wr [A] Phyaddr [A]
S Addr Rd [A] [DataLow] NA P

So now I suppose the question is whether replacing the existing i2c
logic with something like

i2c_smbus_write_byte(i2c, i2c_mii_phy_addr(phy_id));
i2c_smbus_read_byte(i2c);
i2c_smbus_read_byte(i2c);

will break everyone else's SFP phys. If it does, this could be difficult
to do as a quirk because the MII-I2C bus is created before we read the
SFP EEPROM.
