This patch adds just consumers part of the framework just to enable easy

Up until now, EEPROM drivers were stored in drivers/misc, where they all had to
duplicate pretty much the same code to register a sysfs file, allow in-kernel
users to access the content of the devices they were driving, etc.

This was also a problem as far as other in-kernel users were involved, since
the solutions used were pretty much different from on driver to another, there
was a rather big abstraction leak.

This introduction of this framework aims at solving this. It also introduces DT
representation for consumer devices to go get the data they require (MAC
Addresses, SoC/Revision ID, part numbers, and so on) from the EEPROMs.

Having regmap interface to this framework would give much better
abstraction for eeproms on different buses.

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

No need to initialize.
Sure.. Will fix it.

I think the consumer API could be improved. 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.

Its a good point, I will give it a try and see.

+	struct device_node *cell_np;

+
+	cell_np = of_parse_phandle(dev->of_node, "eeproms", index);
+	if (!cell_np)
+		return ERR_PTR(-EPROBE_DEFER);

-EPROBE_DEFER is not appropriate here. If of_parse_phandle fails it
won't work next time.

That's right, if it cant parse it now, it would also fail next time too.
Will fix it in next version.

No, it returns the length.

Yes, thats true, will fix it in next version.

The documentation above the real function states that this function
either returns an ERR_PTR() or a valid pointer. The wrapper should then
do the same.

Will fix this in next version.
