Currently SoC platforms use a firmware request to get the EEPROM data.
This is mostly a hack and rely on using a user-helper scripts which is
deprecated. A nicer alternative is to use the nvmem API which was
designed for this kind of task.

Furthermore we let CONFIG_ATH9K_AHB select CONFIG_NVMEM as such
devices will generally use this method for loading the EEPROM data.

One trivial thing: missing line break.

Are you sure this works with AR93XX SoCs that have the calibration data
in the OTP?

I've added Chris to the CC, since he has a HiveAP 121 that has this
configuration, so he can test, whenever this is a problem or not.

But from what I can tell, devices with the calibration data in the
OTP would fail now. This is because the OTP is done by ath9k_hw_init()
which hasn't run yet (it's a bit further down the road in the same
function though). 

Note: the OTP doesn't store the whole caldata. Just a few parts.
A temporary "eeprom" gets constructed with the help of the 
ar9300_eep_templates in ar9003_eeprom.c's
ar9300_eeprom_restore_internal(). But from what I don't think, 
that the eeprom_blob is constructed/set by the functions in
ar9003_eeprom.

I think this will require an additional property like
qca,calibration-in-otp. What's your opinion?

Thanks,
Christian

I only tested this on an ar9132 platform, so it might well be that a
few things are missing for the newer SoC. However this shouldn't break
anything existing as a platform needs to define an nvmem cell on the
athk9 device for this code to be used at all.

Yes, I looked at it.
+		eeprom_cell = nvmem_cell_get(ah->dev, "eeprom");
+		if (!IS_ERR(eeprom_cell)) {
+			...
+		}
So if there's a error with the "eeprom" nvmem property,
(i.e.: it's not present) the driver should works as before.

Thanks,
Christian
