As noticed my Michael we have this left from old times of limited amount of
revisions. It's not reliable to treat unknown as rev1.

Michael: would you like to add Reported-by?

John: it's for 2.6.38.

Isn't that only for bugs? This isn't a bug.
But you can add my acked-by, if that's desired.

I think this is going to make my b43 PCI-E card not work...I'll try
it and get back to you...

> [ 1036.293865] ssb: Unsupported SPROM  revision 255 detected. Will extract v1

So what about specialcasing 255 instead of defaulting to 1 in general?

if (rev == 255)
rev = 1;

255 basically means "Vendor forgot to set this field". So it would only
default to 1 for those broken sproms.

Will work as long as there won't appear new vendor who will forget to
set this and will use new SPROM...

But hopefully it won't happen and it should not hurt too much to
register device with incorrectly parsed SPROM.

The old code will break for that, too.

If it would really succeed to initialize the device, this would be a
regulatory issue, because the sprom contains various power amplifier
calibration data. I think it should rather fail and be fixed correctly
instead of incorrectly using rev1 in that case.

I agree that it is better to fail than use incorrect power data.

Would it be useful if the SPROM data were logged when the revision is crap?

John: could you dump and post the data from yours? I would like to see how bad
it is.

We need to keep in mind that there will be no new SSB devices.
It seems pretty much EOL'ed by Broadcom.
So I'm not sure whether this would be of any use or just random dead
code.

Good point. When we get the data for the one case we know exists, we will have a
better idea if a special quirk for this case is feasible. Assuming that this is
not the only example of this hardware, then we might limit the breakage from
this patch. At least the random code would be needed and useful in keeping our
maintainer happy, which has a some merit.

Hm, now I wonder if we should create sth like list of devices with
invalid SPROM, or maybe we should keep current fallback method?
