p54: improve eeprom parser
Like other vendors, p54* devices have a checksum for the EEPROM descriptor data. This patch enhances the parser code to generate and verify the data fields, before initializing the radio-chip on the card. Note: If you have to bootstrap an alternative EEPROM image for your device and you don't know how to generate a valid crc ccitt checksum, you should take a look at: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/chr/p54tools.git The "checksum" utility loads a binary p54 EEPROM blob (use the -f switch, to skip the check) and applies the correct crc automatically.
