+ * 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.
