Description

#26 added basic support for decoding the pages a module advertises support for. SFF-8636 modules are pretty simple here, but CMIS is a good deal more complicated. We're parsing a few of the more straightforward pages, but here is a list of some others we should add support for. That requires reading a few more bytes from the module and decoding the right bits. Not complicated, but not critical at this point.

Research direction

Start in decode/src/lib.rs at the list of unsupported CMIS advertised pages around line 527, then review the existing CMIS and SFF-8636 page-decoding logic. Identify which additional pages and bit fields are in scope from that list, and verify that the selected pages are decoded from the module's bytes when done.
