The recent changes to the code causing build fail is

     bnx2x: Search VPD with pci_vpd_find_ro_info_keyword()
     
     Use pci_vpd_find_ro_info_keyword() to search for keywords in VPD to
     simplify the code.
     
     str_id_reg and str_id_cap hold the same string and are used in the same
     comparison. This doesn't make sense, use one string str_id instead.
