Thanks to Christian Lamparter for all his help on troubleshooting this issue and the basis for this patch.

Dickinson --- drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/init.c | 6 +++--- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) Additional Background on EEPROM swapping[0] (quoting Martin again): some additional information on the EEPROM swapping (for the curious who want some additional context why I'm suggesting to move both flags together): we need AH_NO_EEP_SWAP on a few devices. one of them is the BT Home Hub 5A (lantiq target). this flag decides whether ath9k will look at the first two "magic" bytes (0x5aa5 or 0xa55a). if this doesn't match ath9k's expectations (defined at compile-time: big or little endian) then ath9k calls swab16 on the whole EEPROM data. however, this assumes that whoever defined the EEPROM data knew how to set the magic bytes correctly (which is not the case - at least on BT Home Hub 5A). The EEPROM data itself (assuming all bytes are in the correct place - which may require calling swab16 on the whole EEPROM data) has an endianness bit which decided whether all u16/u32 values are to be interpreted as little (default) or big endian. Some EEPROM authors got the magic bytes wrong, but as far as I know everyone got the EEPMISC endianness bit right.
