Adding data for devices without ART partitions e.g. Netgear WNDAP-660 #3

Description

@tim-seoss

As discussed in openwrt/openwrt#10830 the WNDAP-660 has two mini-pcie ath9k cards - each with their own eeprom. The tool in this repository is intended to work with ART partition dumps, and doesn't work with the eeprom dumps (although the tool could probably be adapted, and/or the dump files padded to work with the tool as it is).

An alternative would be to use https://github.com/rsa9000/atheepmgr instead (or maybe as well).

Similarly I have a lantiq xrx200 based device with one pcie ath9k radio, and one pcie ath10k radio. This device doesn't appear to have an ART partition either (at least ar9300_eeprom cannot detect anything in any of /dev/mtd*). At runtime OpenWRT loads its ROMs from /lib/firmware/ instead (presumably these files are extracted from somewhere in the device by OpenWRT during first boot), and these can be interpreted by atheepmgr.

How would you like me to proceed with this?
