Here it's even more obvious, that the second sentence is redundant.
The requirement is already in the first sentence :) Instead it
should be mentioned, that this is to be used by devices not having
their own embedded eeprom. How about:

eeprom: A phandle to the node of the EEPROM describing the camera
sensor (i.e. device specific calibration data), in case it differs
from the sensor node.
