mtd_read() does not work ? i dont see the problem here. ath9k gets
loaded as a ko and at the time when this happens nand is available so
you can just use the normal fw loader mechanism. e do this on most
targets already and there is code to read eeprom data from mtd in other
targets aswell that you can reuse.
