Calibration/PCI data that's written to flash (rather than EEPROM attached
to the NIC) is typically already in host-endian. The existing checks
end up swapping 16 bit words incorrectly - the correct solution would be
to read the magic value and determine the EEPROM endianness from that.
(This is what Linux does.)
This doesn't completely enable embedded use of the AR9285/AR9287 -
notably, the EEPROM read methods need to be made generic and available
to all EEPROM drivers. I'll worry about that later.

The code assumed it could return HAL_OK, HAL_EINVAL and other
HAL_STATUS types; so it shouldn't be declared as returning HAL_BOOL.

It turns out that the V4K eeprom definitions (used by the AR9285 and
its derivatives) is wrong. These values are at least causing issues
on my AR2427.
With this fix (and initvals in a subsequent commit), the AR2427 behaves
a lot better.
Note - there's still significant drift between the ath9k v4k eeprom
init code (again, used by AR9285 and derivatives) and what's in this
tree. That needs to be investigated and resolved.
The v1 and v3 interfaces returned the whole EEPROM but the v14/v4k
interfaces just returned the base header. There's extra information
outside of that which would also be nice to get access to.
This is needed by the upcoming AR9285 support.
Information on the layout gathered from Linux ath9k.
Not yet connected to the build.
