Okay, will be moving to a bitfield here.

Wrong. Setting the length to '0' will just make the sysfs attribute
appear with a length of '0', as we cannot determine the length when
we create the attribute.

Hmm. I thought no-one would be daft enough to write a VPD attribute
without first checking whether it actually _needs_ to be written to.
But yeah, you're right. I'll be adding a call to
pci_vpd_pci22_size() here.

The general idea is to always set the attribute size to '0' (ie the
size reflected to userland via the sysfs attribute).
The _actual_ size of the VPD data is generated by a call to
pci_vpd_pci22_size(), and stored in the vpd structure itself.

With that we won't need to change the sysfs attribute size (which we
cannot do anyway), and don't need any quirks like modifying the
return data for invalid VPD data.

But yeah, the sysfs zero-length binfile handling is non-obvious. It
took me several days and a confused mail exchange with Alexander
Duyck to figure it out.

Cheers,

Hannes
