    ssb: Add new SPROM structure while keeping the old · ac82fab4

    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.
