I'll have to think about this.  On one hand, this works.  As long as
the board-specific value of MAX_NUM_PORTS is valid, then it will work.

On the other hand, it's fragile and violates the specification.  An
NXID v1 EEPROM has the CRC at offset 0xFC.  I'm just not sure it
really matters.

York, I'm okay with this patch if you are.  You're the one maintaining
this code now.  Is there anyone left at Freescale who cares about the
integrity of the EEPROM specification?
