Bug Description

SRU Justification:

[Impact]
The EEPROM MFG partition on BlueField-2 has been updated to include the VPD information for each card. In order to access these newly added fields, the mlx-bootctl driver needs to be updated to provide an access mechanism.

[Fix]
Add support for VPD fields in the EEPROM MFG and provide access to these via sysfs entries. The newly added sysfs entries are: sku (SKU ID), modl (Model Number), sn (Serial Number) and uuid (UUID). And the previously added opn_str sysfs has been renamed to opn.

[Test Case]
Though the driver provides read and write access through sysfs, the contents of the MFG partition are written during Manufacturing and then locked in order to protect the info. Writing to this partition will therefore require resetting the MFG info from the UEFI Device Manager, which will unlock the partition and allow for it to be reprogrammed.
Reading the sysfs entries will print the contents of each field. It could also be empty if the field was not programmed earlier.

[Regression Potential]
Can be considered minimum, since the new fields have been added without interfering with the existing fields which might already be present in the EEPROM.

This bug is awaiting verification that the kernel in -proposed solves the problem. Please test the kernel and update this bug with the results. If the problem is solved, change the tag 'verification-needed-focal' to 'verification-done-focal'. If the problem still exists, change the tag 'verification-needed-focal' to 'verification-failed-focal'.

If verification is not done by 5 working days from today, this fix will be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed.

See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you!
