The Realtek 8126 Ethernet controller advertises VPD capability but
returns invalid data when VPD is read, leading to kernel messages
like:
r8169 ... invalid VPD tag 0x00 (size 0) at offset 0; assume
missing optional EEPROM
and pcilib reporting "sysfs_read_vpd: read failed: No such device".
Add the device to the VPD blacklist to suppress these errors.
