    ath5k: enable EEPROM checksum check · 8bf3d79b

    Without this we have no gaurantee of the integrity of the
    EEPROM and are likely to encounter a lot of bogus bug reports
    due to actual issues on the EEPROM. With the EEPROM checksum
    check in place we can easily rule those issues out.
    
    If you run patch during a revert *you* have a card with a busted
    EEPROM and only older kernel will support that concoction. This
    patch is a trade off between not accepitng bogus EEPROMs and
    avoiding bogus bug reports allowing developers to focus instead
    on real concrete issues.
    
    If stable keeps bogus bug reports because of a possibly busted EEPROM
    feel free to apply this there too.
    
    Tested on an AR5414
