Subject: [PATCH] PCI/VPD: Silence warning if optional VPD PROM is missing
Date: Thu, 17 Dec 2020 21:43:38 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <b04a0e46-0b97-da3d-aa77-b05c9b37d21f@gmail.com> (raw)

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 as and silently set the VPD length to 0.
