[PATCH] drivers/firmware/broadcom/bcm47xx_nvram.c: fix incorrect __ioread32_copy

[Aaro Koskinen]

Commit 1f330c327900 ("drivers/firmware/broadcom/bcm47xx_nvram.c: use
__ioread32_copy() instead of open-coding") switched to use a generic
copy functions, but failed to notice that the header pointer is
updated between the two copies, resulting in bogus data being copied
in the latter one. Fix by keeping the old header pointer as references
to iomem should be fine.

The patch fixes totally broken networking on WRL54GL router (both LAN
and WLAN interfaces fail to probe).

Ah sorry. That was a stupid mistake. But it might be bad to
access header->len now because that's still some device memory
and not the copy of the memory into ram anymore. How about
this patch instead? Commit text and authorship can be the same as
the original patch.

I'm OK with this as well; I'll test this on my router (just to be sure :))
and send a v2.

Thanks,
