This series adds three functions to the PCI VPD API that help to simplify driver code. First users are sfc and tg3 drivers because I have test hw. The other users of the VPD API will benefit from a migration as well. I'd propose to apply this series via the PCI tree. Added API calls: pci_vpd_alloc() Dynamically allocates a properly sized buffer and reads the VPD into it. pci_vpd_find_ro_info_keyword() Locates an info field keyword in the VPD RO section. pci_vpd_find_info_keyword() can be removed once all users have been migrated. pci_vpd_check_csum() Check VPD checksum based on algorithm defined in the PCI specification. Tested on a SFN6122F and a BCM95719 card.
