NACK. This comes up every now and then and this is not a valid device
ID, this is an issue with the card, so what you can do is adjust the
device ID post bootup. Not sure if distros have an easy way to set
this up, if not perhaps this should be considered as this has come up
twice before.

The erroneous 0xFFFF value comes from using one of eeprom_ops
implementations. Do you suggest I should fool ath regd code to think
this is a different card so it picks a different (perhaps correct, if
at all) eeprom_ops variant? How do I do that?

From what I can tell this is in the pci probing and I can't see any

way to skip the regd initialisation. I don't see how current_rd can
have a value other than 0xFFFF for this device in this code path.

Or am I missing something?
