Larry Finger c272ef4403 ssb: Convert to use of the new SPROM structure
In disagreement with the SPROM specs, revision 3 devices appear to have
moved the MAC address.

Change ssb to handle the revision 4 SPROM, which is a different size.
This change in size is handled by adding a new variable to the ssb_sprom
struct and using it whenever possible. For those routines that do not
have access to this structure, a 'u16 size' argument is added.

The new PCI_ID for the BCM4328 is also added.

Testing of the Revision 4 SPROM, which is used on the BCM4328, was done
by Michael Gerdau <mgerdau@tiscali.de>.

Larry Finger ac82fab44f ssb: Add new SPROM structure while keeping the old
The SPROM's for various devices utilizing the Sonics Silicon Backplane come
with various revisions. The Revision 2 SPROM inherited the data layout of 1, and
Revision 3 inherited the layout of 2. The first instance of Revision 4 has
now been found in a BCM4328 wireless LAN card. This device does not inherit any
layout from previous versions. Although it was possible to create a data
structure that kept all the old layouts, we decided to start fresh, keep only
those SPROM variables that are used by the drivers that utilize ssb, and to
do the conversion in such a manner that neither compilation or execution will
be affected if a bisection lands in the middle of these changes, while keeping
the patches as small as possible.

In this patch, the sprom structures are changed while maintaining the old ones.

Michael Buesch 61e115a56d [SSB]: add Sonics Silicon Backplane bus support
SSB is an SoC bus used in a number of embedded devices.  The most
well-known of these devices is probably the Linksys WRT54G, but there
are others as well.  The bus is also used internally on the BCM43xx
and BCM44xx devices from Broadcom.

This patch also includes support for SSB ID tables in modules, so
that SSB drivers can be loaded automatically.
