      PCI: Limit VPD read/write lengths for Broadcom 5706, 5708, 5709 rev. · 99cb233d
      Benjamin Li authored
      For Broadcom 5706, 5708, 5709 rev. A nics, any read beyond the
      VPD end tag will hang the device.  This problem was initially
      observed when a vpd entry was created in sysfs
      ('/sys/bus/pci/devices/<id>/vpd').   A read to this sysfs entry
      will dump 32k of data.  Reading a full 32k will cause an access
      beyond the VPD end tag causing the device to hang.  Once the device
      is hung, the bnx2 driver will not be able to reset the device.
      We believe that it is legal to read beyond the end tag and
      therefore the solution is to limit the read/write length.
      
      A majority of this patch is from Matthew Wilcox who gave code for
      reworking the PCI vpd size information.  A PCI quirk added for the
      Broadcom NIC's to limit the read/write's.
