I only tested this on an ar9132 platform, so it might well be that a
few things are missing for the newer SoC. However this shouldn't break
anything existing as a platform needs to define an nvmem cell on the
athk9 device for this code to be used at all.

Yes, I looked at it.
+ eeprom_cell = nvmem_cell_get(ah->dev, "eeprom");
+ if (!IS_ERR(eeprom_cell)) {
+ ...
+ }
So if there's a error with the "eeprom" nvmem property,
(i.e.: it's not present) the driver should works as before.
Thanks,
Christian
