Right, and I think this is the crux here. Why can't you use DT
overlays? The manifest files, seem to be yet another hardware
description (method) and we already have DT. Can't we have some kind
of userspace helper that could translate them to DT overlays? That
way, you could also handle the EEPROM vs non-EEPROM case, or have
some other kind of method to load a DT overlay.

Admittedly, I've never worked with in-kernel overlays, but AFAIK
they work with some subsystems.
