[Karmic] SRU: ath5k: Fix eeprom checksum check for custom sized eeproms

SRU justification:

Impact: Upstream 2.6.31.9 contained a patch that added a check for bogus
EEPROM checksums to the ath5k driver but it seems to have missed the fact
that custom EEPROMs might be different in size.

Fix: Upstream patch which was added to 2.6.32.4 but not carried over to
2.6.31.y adds code to query and work with differently sized EEPROMS.

Testcase: Bring up certain hw with custom EEPROM. Verified in the report.

Subject: [PATCH] ath5k: Fix eeprom checksum check for custom sized eeproms

BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/506180

commit 359207c687cc8f4f9845c8dadd0d6dabad44e584 upstream.

Commit 8bf3d79bc401ca417ccf9fc076d3295d1a71dbf5 enabled EEPROM
checksum checks to avoid bogus bug reports but failed to address
updating the code to consider devices with custom EEPROM sizes.
Devices with custom sized EEPROMs have the upper limit size stuffed
in the EEPROM. Use this as the upper limit instead of the static
default size. In case of a checksum error also provide back the
max size and whether or not this was the default size or a custom
one. If the EEPROM is busted we add a failsafe check to ensure
we don't loop forever or try to read bogus areas of hardware.

This closes bug 14874
