iwlwifi: validate the signature for EEPROM and OTP
Both 1000 & 6000 series NICs contain on-chip OTP memory that replaces the off-chip EEPROM memory. The nature of OTP means there is a limited number of times a particular board can go through the factory flow and be (re)calibrated. As a consequence there will be some boards that contain EEPROM memory because OTP blocks were full. In the signature validation routine, iwlwifi needs to make sure "select bit" and "EEPROM/OTP signature" agree on the type of NVM to be used to configure the system.
