This is a commit scheduled for the next v2.6.34 longterm release.
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/paulg/longterm-queue-2.6.34.git
If you see a problem with using this for longterm, please comment.
-------------------
commit e2faeec2de9e2c73958e6ea6065dde1e8cd6f3a2 upstream.
The checksum field in the EEPROM on HPPA is really not a
checksum but a signature (0x16d6). So allow 0x16d6 as the
matching checksum on HPPA systems.
This issue is present on longterm/stable kernels, I have
verified that this patch is applicable back to at least
2.6.32.y kernels.
v2- changed ifdef to use CONFIG_PARISC instead of __hppa__
