The PCI spec is what essentially assumes that there is only one block.
If I am not mistaken in the case of this device the second block here
actually contains device configuration data, not actual VPD data.  The
issue here is that the second block is being accessed as VPD when it
isn't.

The second block here is driver proprietary setup bits.

The problem is we need to be able to parse it.  The spec defines a
series of tags that can be used starting at offset 0.  That is how we
are supposed to get around through the VPD data.  The problem is we
can't have more than one end tag and what appears to be happening here
is that we are defining a second block of data which uses the same
formatting as VPD but is not VPD.

I adding the current cxgb3 maintainer and netdev list to the Cc.  This
is something that can probably be addressed via a PCI quirk as what
needs to happen is that we need to extend the VPD in the case of this
part in order to include this second block.  As long as we can read
the VPD data all the way out to 0xdff odds are we could probably just
have the size arbitrarily increased to 0xe00 via the quirk and then
you would be able to access all of the VPD for the device.  We already
have code making other modifications to drivers/pci/quirks.c for
several Broadcom devices and probably just need something similar to
allow extended access in the case of these devices.
