The comment here was for the case that we were using the old nasty
checksum thingy I invented, prior to you adding SHA1 checksum support.
The column limitation therefore seems artificial here ?

Also, as per Adrian's advice on the eeprom dump tool, perhaps we can
remove clutter from the initvals tool by allowing us to copy to the
local directory the initval files from a linux-next tag.

git show next-20121204:drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/ar9002_initvals.h
> path/ar9002_initvals.h

For example. But this would mean requiring us to get diffs by using a
kernel git tree, separate from where we are. Not sure if there are
gains with this strategy. Its unclear.
