So it turns out this is inaccurate, AR9003 devices can ship with
EEPROM only or with OTP, it will vary, so while 2.6.36 and 2.6.37 will
not support only OTP based devices 2.6.38 will support both. What we
can do is cherry pick the OTP patches to the 2.6.36 and 2.6.37
compat-wireless releases but those two older stock kernels won't have
support for these.
