The current code checks for the special signature that signifies a revision 4 SPROM. Now that a rev. 8 SPROM with a 440-byte length has been found that may not have any special code, this check could be relaxed. With this patch, if the CRC is incorrect for a 256-byte SPROM, the code will immediately check for a 440-byte SPROM. If there is still a CRC error, the size is set to 440 bytes, which allows dumping of most of any 512-byte SPROM if one is encountered.
