[PATCH net] e100: fix shift-out-of-bounds in e100_eeprom_load()

e100_eeprom_load() and e100_eeprom_save() start with an address length
of 8 and call e100_eeprom_read() to auto-detect the real EEPROM address
length. e100_eeprom_read() adjusts the length with

	*addr_len -= (i - 16);

based on when the EEPROM drives a dummy zero onto EEDO. A malfunctioning
or emulated device that drives EEDO low too early makes (i - 16) exceed
the current length, underflowing the u16 addr_len to a large value such
as 65529.

That value is then used as a shift count:

	nic->eeprom_wc = 1 << addr_len;

which is undefined behaviour and additionally overflows the fixed-size
nic->eeprom[256] cache.

  UBSAN: shift-out-of-bounds in drivers/net/ethernet/intel/e100.c:768:21
  shift exponent 65529 is too large for 32-bit type 'int'

The EEPROM cache holds at most 256 words, so a valid address length is
never larger than 8. Reject larger values before using addr_len.
