[PATCH][RESEND] Fix EDD3.0 data verification.

From: Gleb Natapov
Date: Tue Apr 26 2011 - 04:21:51 EST


Check for nonzero path in edd_has_edd30() has no sense. First, it looks
at the wrong memory. Device path starts at offset 30 of the info->params
structure which is at offset 8 from the beginning of info structure,
but code looks at info + 4 instead. This was correct when code was
introduced, but around v2.6.4 three more fields were added to edd_info
structure (commit 66b61a5c in history.git). Second, even if it will check
correct memory it will always succeed since at offset 30 (params->key)
there will be non-zero values otherwise previous check would fail.

The patch replaces this bogus check with one that verifies checksum.
