[PATCHv2] edd: support original Phoenix EDD 3.0 information

[PATCHv2] edd: support original Phoenix EDD 3.0 information

[Hannes Reinecke]

The original Phoenix EDD 3.0 specification (as found in
eg http://mbldr.sourceforge.net/specsedd30.pdf) has a
device path length of 36, not 44.
All the other fields are identical, so we can trivially support
both formats.

No for gods sake.
