    vendorcode/google/chromeos: Cache VPD data into CBMEM
    
    There are few drawbacks reading VPD from SPI flash in user land, including
    "lack of firmware level authority" and "slow reading speed".
    
    Since for many platforms we are already reading VPD in firmware (for
    example MAC and serial number), caching the VPD data in CBMEM should
    will speed up and simplify user land VPD processing without adding
    performance cost.
    
    A new CBMEM ID is added: CBMEM_ID_VPD, referring to a structure containing
    raw Google VPD 2.0 structure and can be found by the new LB_TAG_VPD in
    Coreboot tables.

    since 2013]
