Hi Stefan
This is why the patch is RFC.
REGMAP has stub implementations for when it is not. NVMEM also has
stub implementations. NVMEM does however select REGMAP. So it should
be possible to compile this driver without NVMEM support. Hopefully
0day will find my git branch and compile it in different ways to see
if i've got this right.
As part of RFC, is this O.K?
Another question which spring to mind is, do we want the eeprom to be
in /sys twice, the old and the new way? Backwards compatibility says
the old must stay. Do we want a way to suppress the new? Or should we
be going as far as refractoring the code into a core library, and two
wrapper drivers, old and new?

Humm, the comment is out of date. Regmap does not work too well
without a write method. So i ended up implementing it. But it has
hardly been tested, where as i have hammered on read.
Thanks
