In certain cases we need a variant of pci_read_vpd()/pci_write_vpd() that
does not check against dev->vpd.len. Such cases are:
- Reading VPD if dev->vpd.len isn't set yet (in pci_vpd_size())
- Devices that map non-VPD information to arbitrary places in VPD address
space (example: Chelsio T3 EEPROM write-protect flag)
Therefore add pci_read_vpd_any() and pci_write_vpd_any() that check against
PCI_VPD_MAX_SIZE only.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
