ath5k: enable EEPROM checksum check
Without this we have no gaurantee of the integrity of the EEPROM and are likely to encounter a lot of bogus bug reports due to actual issues on the EEPROM. With the EEPROM checksum check in place we can easily rule those issues out. If you run patch during a revert *you* have a card with a busted EEPROM and only older kernel will support that concoction. This patch is a trade off between not accepitng bogus EEPROMs and avoiding bogus bug reports allowing developers to focus instead on real concrete issues. If stable keeps bogus bug reports because of a possibly busted EEPROM feel free to apply this there too.
