++ * @sprom: The SPROM data structure to register.
++ *
++ * With this function the architecture implementation may register a fallback
++ * SPROM data structure. The fallback is only used for PCI based SSB devices,
++ * where no valid SPROM can be found in the shadow registers.
++ *
++ * This function is useful for weird architectures that have a half-assed SSB device
++ * hardwired to their PCI bus.
++ *
++ * Note that it does only work with PCI attached SSB devices. PCMCIA devices currently
++ * don't use this fallback.
++ * Architectures must provide the SPROM for native SSB devices anyway,
++ * so the fallback also isn't used for native devices.
++ *
++ * This function is available for architecture code, only. So it is not exported.
