Realtek RTL8169/8168/8125 NIC families indicate VPD capability and an
optional VPD EEPROM can be connected via I2C/SPI. However I haven't
seen any card or system with such a VPD EEPROM yet. The missing EEPROM
causes the following warning whenever e.g. lscpi -vv is executed.
invalid short VPD tag 00 at offset 01
The warning confuses users, I think we should handle the situation more
gentle. Therefore, if first VPD byte is read as 0x00, assume a missing
optional VPD PROM and replace the warning with a more descriptive
message at info level.

v2: - don't remove user info completely, replace the warning with a more
message at info level

Looks perfect, applied to pci/vpd for v5.13, thanks!
