There are some inventory items without VPD, e.g:

https://github.com/openbmc/skeleton/blob/master/configs/Barreleye.py#L133

"	'<inventory_root>/system/chassis/io_board/pcie_slot0_riser' :
{ 'fru_type' : 'PCIE_RISER', 'is_fru' : True,},
	'<inventory_root>/system/chassis/io_board/pcie_slot1_riser' :
{ 'fru_type' : 'PCIE_RISER', 'is_fru' : True,},
	'<inventory_root>/system/chassis/io_board/pcie_slot2_riser' :
{ 'fru_type' : 'PCIE_RISER', 'is_fru' : True,},
	'<inventory_root>/system/chassis/io_board/pcie_slot0' :
{ 'fru_type' : 'PCIE_CARD', 'is_fru' : True,},
	'<inventory_root>/system/chassis/io_board/pcie_slot1' :
{ 'fru_type' : 'PCIE_CARD', 'is_fru' : True,},
	'<inventory_root>/system/chassis/io_board/pcie_slot2' :
{ 'fru_type' : 'PCIE_CARD', 'is_fru' : True,},
	'<inventory_root>/system/chassis/io_board/pcie_mezz0' :
{ 'fru_type' : 'PCIE_CARD', 'is_fru' : True,},
	'<inventory_root>/system/chassis/io_board/pcie_mezz1' :
{ 'fru_type' : 'PCIE_CARD', 'is_fru' : True,},

"
Will the new inventory manager handle these items too? This looks like off
the topic.
But I saw your patch is divided into two groups:
"xyz/openbmc_project/Inventory", and "xyz/openpower/Inventory".
Where do we put the inventory items above?

Thanks,
