Thanks for working on this. This is something that is missing in the kernel, it looks very promising to me.

The dev pointer is only used to get the struct device_node out of it, so the device_node could be passed in directly. As written in my other mail I think the binding would be better like "calibration = <&tsens_calibration>;", so this function could be: of_eeprom_cell_get(struct device_node *np, const char *name) With this we could also get eeprom cells from subnodes which do not have a struct device bound to them. > + struct device_node *cell_np; > + > + if (!dev || !dev->of_node) > + return ERR_PTR(-EINVAL); > + > + cell_np = of_parse_phandle(dev->of_node, "eeproms", index); > + if (!cell_np) > + return ERR_PTR(-EPROBE_DEFER); -EPROBE_DEFER is not appropriate here.

The wrapper should then do the same.
