From: Bartosz Golaszewski brgl@bgdev.pl
commit 5478e478eee3b096b8d998d4ed445da30da2dfbc upstream.
There's an ilog2() expansion in AT24_DEVICE_MAGIC() which rounds down the actual size of EUI-48 byte array in at24mac402 eeproms to 4 from 6, making it impossible to read it all.
Fix it by manually adjusting the value in probe().
This patch contains a temporary fix that is suitable for stable branches. Eventually we'll probably remove the call to ilog2() while converting the magic values to actual structs.
