This patch adds bindings for simple eeprom framework which allows eeprom
consumers to talk to eeprom providers to get access to eeprom cell data.

+= EEPROM Data Device Tree Bindings =
+
+This binding is intended to represent the location of hardware
+configuration data stored in EEPROMs.
+
+On a significant proportion of boards, the manufacturer has stored
+some data on an EEPROM-like device, for the OS to be able to retrieve
+these information and act upon it. Obviously, the OS has to know
+about where to retrieve these data from, and where they are stored on
+the storage device.
+
+This document is here to document this.
+
+= Data providers =
+Contains bindings specific to provider drivers and data cells as children
+to this node.
+
+= Data cells =
+These are the child nodes of the provider which contain data cell
+information like offset and size in eeprom provider.
+
+Required properties:
+reg: specifies the offset in byte within that storage device, and the length
+ in bytes of the data we care about.
+ There could be more then one offset-length pairs in this property.
+
+Optional properties:
+As required by specific data parsers/interpreters.
+
+For example:
+
+ /* Provider */
+ qfprom: qfprom@00700000 {
+ compatible = "qcom,qfprom";
+ reg = <0x00700000 0x8000>;
+ ...
+
+ /* Data cells */
+ tsens_calibration: calib@4404 {
+ reg = <0x4404 0x10>;
+ };
+
+ serial_number: sn {
+ reg = <0x104 0x4>, <0x204 0x4>, <0x30c 0x4>;
+
+ };
+ ...
+ };
+
+= Data consumers =
+Are device nodes which consume eeprom data cells.
+
+For example:
+
+ tsens {
+ ...
+ calibration = <&tsens_calibration>;
+ };
