My understanding is that the end tag can have some data associated with 
it such as a checksum.  What you may want to look at doing is process 
long tag and short tag bits first.  Then you could do a mask and compare 
after and if ((header[0] & ~0x7) == 0x78) then you return off + 1.

Also I was wondering if you have looked at the cxgb4 network driver? 
They are using the vpd read/write calls to access their EEPROM and I 
assume they are doing so outside the actual VPD fields.
