    ath5k: Fix eeprom checksum check for custom sized eeproms

    Commit 8bf3d79bc401ca417ccf9fc076d3295d1a71dbf5 enabled EEPROM
    checksum checks to avoid bogus bug reports but failed to address
    updating the code to consider devices with custom EEPROM sizes.
    Devices with custom sized EEPROMs have the upper limit size stuffed
    in the EEPROM. Use this as the upper limit instead of the static
    default size. In case of a checksum error also provide back the
    max size and whether or not this was the default size or a custom
    one. If the EEPROM is busted we add a failsafe check to ensure
    we don't loop forever or try to read bogus areas of hardware.

    This closes bug 14874
