The comment is quite weird, there is no such thing as a vendor-specific VPD id. 0x82 is the value of PCI_VPD_LRDT_ID_STRING. So what we are doing here is simply checking whether the byte at VPD address VPD_BASE is a valid string LRDT, same as what is done a few lines later in the code. LRDT = Large Resource Data Tag, see PCI 2.2 spec, VPD chapter
