I am currently working on fixing the wireless function of half supported
router lantiq/GR7000.
I have the binary blob for the ralink wireless and confirm that it is not
individual calibrated.
There is no MTD partition for that blob, it is just a file.

I was thinking of integrated the blob and EEPROM init code in an acceptable
manner for patch submission
