Why I did it
Currently, when trying to read from the EEPROM of an unplugged module, we get the following error:
ERR kernel: [ 2446.261799] sxd_kernel: [error] Failed to get module page valid, err: -5
We need to ensure the EEPROM is not accessed if a module is not connected.

How I did it
I added a validation at the beginning of the function used to read from the EEPROM to verify that the module is connected before attempting to access the EEPROM.
How to verify it
Unplug a module and ensure the following error does not appear:
ERR kernel: [ 2446.261799] sxd_kernel: [error] Failed to get module page valid, err: -5
Which release branch to backport (provide reason below if selected)
