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.
