Committed to repo, but needs building and uploading.

** Description changed:

+ SRU justification:
+ 
+ Impact: Upstream 2.6.31.9 contained a patch that added a check for bogus
+ EEPROM checksums to the ath5k driver but it seems to have missed the
+ fact that custom EEPROMs might be different in size.
+ 
+ Fix: Upstream patch which was added to 2.6.32.4 but not carried over to
+ 2.6.31.y adds code to query and work with differently sized EEPROMS.
+ 
+ Testcase: Bring up certain hw with custom EEPROM. Verified in the
+ report.
