I'm developing on OpenWrt to work with EEPROM-less ath5k mini-pci devices. This is needed to support the ar71xx-based Senao EAP7660D board which got two AR5413 modules soldered into its mini-pci slots. In the original Firmware, MAC addresses as well as calibration-data seems to be part of the firmware blob stored on the board flash. See https://lists.openwrt.org/pipermail/openwrt-devel/2010-June/007366.html for the corresponding discussion on OpenWrt-devel. Similarly to the way this happens for ath9k, I managed to get ath5k to use the MAC address and eeprom-data supplied by ath9k_platform_data. Including ath9k_platform.h in ath5k-sources looks confusing as the name ath9k_platform suggests that the supplied ath9k_platform_info struct is specific to ath9k devices. Consequently, I believe ath9k_platform.h should be renamed into ath_platform.h, the macro ATH9K_PLAT_EEP_MAX_WORDS into ATH_PLAT_EEP_MAX_WORDS and struct ath9k_platform_data should be refactored to be struct ath_platform_data. Please let me know if you agree with this in theory; if yes, I'll start posting the patches to OpenWrt.
