It seems like a bad idea to start out assuming the max, and reduce once a knowledgeable driver appears. It seems more safe to start out at zero, and let a driver increase it? That way, by design, you eliminate the possibility (later, if not now) of someone assuming that the full 32k can be read as soon as the interface is available.

VPD is meant to be usable even without a driver - that's why it's a (somewhat) standard capability and not device-specific. > That way, by design, you eliminate the possibility (later, if not now) > of someone assuming that the full 32k can be read as soon as the > interface is available. I believe that's generally true, though it may be slow. Maybe we could read as much as we need to find the real length when the sysfs file is first opened? Ben.

The VPD on all devices may not be 32K. Unfortunately, there is no generic way to find the size, so this adds a simple API hook to reset it.
