Subject: [PATCH] Revert "firmware: vpd: remove platform driver"

This reverts commit 7975bd4cca05a99aa14964cfa22366ee64da50ad, because
VPD relies on driver core to handle deferrals returned by
coreboot_table_find().

Greg, here is the revert we discussed.

I will look into whether we could make coreboot table not use deferrals,
but some mother mechanism to notify users that the data is available.
The entities we are dealing here with are not really hardware devices
and I consider using platform devices/drivers for them misuse of the
driver model, but for now it needs to stay as it was.
