This patch adds a check to the VPD parsing code to avoid reading the
whole thing if the first byte ('type' of the first VPD entry) is 0x00
or 0xff. These values match the TERMINATOR and IMPLICIT_TERMINATOR types
which should never occur as the first entry, so this usually means that
the VPD FMAP section has simply never been initialized correctly. This
early abort avoids wasting time to read the whole section from SPI flash
(which we'd otherwise have to since we're not going to find a Google VPD
2.0 header either).
BRANCH=None
BUG=None
TEST=Booted Oak, confirmed that VPD read times dropped from 100ms to
1.5ms.
