This series refactors the EEPROM write logic in e1000 and e1000e drivers
to avoid processing uninitialized memory. Instead of looping over the
entire buffer, we now only perform endianness conversion on the boundary
words that were actually read from the hardware.

Patch 1: e1000: limit endianness conversion to boundary words
Patch 2: e1000e: limit endianness conversion to boundary words
