    Description

      Some SFP modules have invalid alarm/warning limits in their EPROM, for example:

                     Current             Alarms                  Warnings
                     Measurement    High        Low         High          Low
      ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
      Temperature    41.08 C      100.00 C    -10.00 C     95.00 C       -5.00 C
      Voltage         3.27 V        3.59 V      2.90 V      3.50 V        3.00 V
      Current        20.29 mA     100.00 mA     1.00 mA    80.00 mA       2.00 mA
      Tx Power       -6.00 dBm      6.99 dBm  -15.08 dBm    4.99 dBm    -13.01 dBm
      Rx Power       -7.42 dBm      1.99 dBm    0.00 dBm    0.00 dBm    -30.00 dBm
      

      Here the Rx Power alarm range is 0 dBm to 1.99 dBm, and warning range is -30 dBm to 0 dBm.
      It is just a normal (but probably cheap) 1000BASE-LR transceiver.

      Obviously the alarm limits are impossible since alarm/warning ranges do not overlap.
      It would be useful if Observium could detect such situations and automatically ignore ranges that are impossible.
