It checks for these tags (+ the end tag) because it's the only ones
defined for VPD by the PCI spec.

Right, the tag format is based on PNP ISA. But PCI spec explicitly
lists the supported tags.
I tried to do the same search and found:
- "invalid short vpd tag 00" and "invalid large tag 7f"
   Both are symptom of a missing optional VPD EEPROM.
- "ixgbe 0000:0b:00.0: invalid short VPD tag 06 at offset 4" and a
  similar message for igb
  I didn't see any response explaining what causes this issue.
  My personal guess: Some OEM provided invalid VPD EEPROM content.
  Offset 4 is the first character of the ID string. The message
  indicates that the ID tag declares an empty ID. That would be weird.

Still I didn't see any example of a rejected valid VPD image.
Not checking for supported tags increases he risk that we interpret
a random byte as tag and read beyond the VPD end, what is known to
cause a freeze on some devices.
