+Subject: [PATCH] ath9k_hw: ignore eeprom magic mismatch on flash based devices
+
+Many AR913x based devices (maybe others too) do not have a valid EEPROM
+magic in their calibration data partition.
+
+Fixes: 6fa658fd5ab2 ("ath9k: Simplify and fix eeprom endianness swapping")
+Signed-off-by: Felix Fietkau <nbd@openwrt.org>
