Some boards have the WLAN EEPROM stored in flash in big-endian format,
whereas the driver requires the EEPROM in little-endian format. The
conv=swab option in dd is particularly useful in this case. This patch
backports this feature from busybox-1.22 based on the following commits:
commit b941316ae5313be523b64f0a9151ee4decb2b35b dd: support conv=swab
commit 8395bd3f52f8ed46fa3ffc316b2d113afa748bae dd: fix example in a
comment. No code changes.
commit 5b9910f0a4a1b7976c46e6f849aaa263180e5521 dd: fail if swab is
attempted on odd-sized block
commit 0ff0b320a2dbb5e0b5fa245ffd9b2648d7026843 dd: code shrink
v2: include the commit messages from upstream
