Subject: [PATCH v1 1/2] PCI/sysfs: Change read permissions for VPD attributes

From: Leon Romanovsky <leonro@...dia.com>

The Vital Product Data (VPD) attribute is not readable by regular
user without root permissions. Such restriction is not really needed
for many devices in the world, as data presented in that VPD is not
sensitive and access to the HW is safe and tested.

This change aligns the permissions of the VPD attribute to be accessible
for read by all users, while write being restricted to root only.

For the driver, there is a need to opt-in in order to allow this
functionality.
