I think The True Linux Way (c) would be to have EEPROM support for
devices (those that live in /sys/device) without tying it to network
interfaces or cfg80211.

See __ATTR in include/linux/device.h, although I'm not sure if
attributes are suitable for EEPROM as is.

Maybe EEPROM should even be a separate class of devices connected to
other devices.

Of course, the topic would be better suited for LKML.
