Different I2C address or bus? We already have i2c bindings for sub 
devices downstream of another I2C device. Either the upstream device 
passes thru the I2C transactions or itself is an I2C controller with a 
separate downstream bus. For those cases the EEPROM should be a child 
node. A phandle only makes sense if you have the sensor and eeprom 
connected to 2 entirely separate host buses.
