[PATCH] cxl: Add cxl_read_adapter_vpd() to the kernel API

[Frederic Barrat]

The point of this patch was to break a dependency with cxlflash, so that 
they could drop their powerVM changes independently from cxl.

Since this hasn't hit upstream or next yet, change of plan: we've agreed 
with cxlflash that the cxl powerVM patchset will do the (small) 
modification to cxlflash (and remove the now obsolete cxl_get_phys_dev() 
kernel API, as discussed in this thread with Mikey). So no more 
dependencies.
It will be part of the powerVM patchset v6
