With these patches applied the problem is gone and I see:

	e1000 pci-8086:1531.0: Unprogrammed Flash detected, limiting access to first 4KB
	0: EEPROM checksum is incorrect!
	0:   ...register was 0x0000, calculated 0xbaba
	e1000 pci-8086:1531.0: probe failed: Invalid argument

and I have

	/ ls -l /dev/e1000-nor0 
	crw-------           4096 /dev/e1000-nor0

Thanks for your valuable hint.

Sascha: If you want, interpret this as "Tested-by:".

Best regards
Uwe
