Subject: [PATCH] MIPS: BCM63XX: make nvram checksum failure non fatal
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Some vendors modify the nvram layout moving the checksum to a different
place or dropping entirely, so reduce the checksum failure to a warning.

I'm not sure if it should be that "loud" (pr_warn) because users can't
actually do anything to fix it, so maybe pr_debug would be fine, too.
