4.14-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Guenter Roeck <[email protected]>

commit e4b28b3c3a405b251fa25db58abe1512814a680a upstream.

It doesn't make sense to have /sys/firmware/vpd if the device is not
instantiated, so tie its lifetime to the device.

Fixes: 049a59db34eb ("firmware: Google VPD sysfs driver")
