This quirk was added in 2008 [0] when we didn't have the logic yet to
determine VPD size based on checking for the VPD end tag. Now that we
have this logic [1] and don't read beyond the end tag this quirk can
be removed.
[0] 99cb233d60cb ("PCI: Limit VPD read/write lengths for Broadcom 5706, 5708, 5709 rev.")

This is basically the same as what you're currently discussing
for the Marvell / QLogic 1077 quirk.
