Subject: [PATCH 3/7] ath9k: Add support for reading the EEPROM data using the nvmem API

Currently SoC platforms use a firmware request to get the EEPROM data.
This is mostly a hack and rely on using a user-helper scripts which is
deprecated. A nicer alternative is to use the nvmem API which was
designed for this kind of task.

Furthermore we let CONFIG_ATH9K_AHB select CONFIG_NVMEM as such
devices will generally use this method for loading the EEPROM data.
