If "location" is > "addr_len" bits, the high bits of location would interfere with the READ_CMD sent to the eeprom controller. A patch was submitted to bug: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4420 which simply truncated the "location", read whatever was in "location modulo addr_len", and returned that value. That avoids confusing the eeprom but seems like the wrong solution to me. Correct would be to not read beyond "1 << addr_len" address of the eeprom. I am submitting two changes to implement this: 1) tulip_read_eeprom will return zero (since we can't return -EINVAL) if this is attempted (defensive programming). 2) In tulip_core.c, fix the tulip_read_eeprom caller so they don't iterate past addr_len bits and make sure the entire tp->eeprom[] array is cleared. I konw we don't strictly need both. I would prefer both in the tree since it documents the issue and provides a second "defense" from the bug from creeping back in.
