Subject: [PATCH 2/2] p54: improve eeprom parser
Date: Tue, 17 Aug 2010 01:16:58 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <201008170116.58759.chunkeey@googlemail.com> (raw)

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.
