What's so special about 0xffff EEPROM checksum

2011-03-28 Thread Nerius Landys
I'm looking at driver code in the FreeBSD kernel, and pretty much everywhere I look I see a check for EEPROM checksum. It's always 0x. What is so special about this value 0x? Is this value agreed upon by hardware manufacturers? So basically they have one end slot for data where they put
