I was exactly trying to do the same thing, 3-4 months ago. There is
something missing or missleading in the documentation. First of all,
you need to compile dts for both barebox and kernel. Each time I would
like to make a change, I change both barebox dts and kernel dts. These
are two similar but actually two different dts files. As an example,
in am335x-phytec-phycore-som.dtsi eeprom device name is "eeprom" but
"i2c_eeprom" in kernel's dts. Secondly, backend-storage-type and
backend-stridesize have some importance. Even if they are written
optional in the documentation, I could not run without them. You need
to calculate "backend-stridesize". Lastly, backend should be like this
"backend = <&eeprom>;". Here is the barebox patch I use:
