Well, what EEPROM type do you have exactly? 24c64 is for 64 kbit (8
kByte) EEPROMs using 16-bit addressing. You must use the correct type,
otherwise the at24 driver will misbehave. I am a little surprised
because originally you went for "eeprom" which is not compatible with
"24c64" (8-bit vs. 16-bit addressing).
Furthermore this brings up another issue:
0x50 typically is SPD-eeprom (DDR initialisation). Corrupting the
contents might make your board unbootable - and using a 16bit driver
instead of an 8-bit one can corrupt your contents already on
(positioned) reading!
This is totally correct, but better said loud to the list and the
original poster than only privately to me ;)
Thanks a lot to point out this.
I double checked the manual, the eeprom is SPD of the DIMMs.
I will rework my patch, then send V2 soon.

Yang
