This is extremely ugly from a hardware perspective and I'm sad to see such a thing here. Though, I don't see any other solution, so I can only give you an advice: don't ever write to the eeprom from the kernel. Things will eventually go south otherwise. I would also advise to add a read-only property to the eeprom node. Regardless (and sadly), Reviewed-by: AngeloGioacchino Del Regno <angelogioacchino.delregno@collabora.com>
