Subject: eeprom: at24: change nvmem stride to 1
From: David Lechner <david@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 7f6d2ecd3d7acaf205ea7b3e96f9ffc55b92298b upstream.
Trying to read the MAC address from an eeprom that has an offset that
is not a multiple of 4 causes an error currently.
Fix it by changing the nvmem stride to 1.
