[RFC] misc/at24: add experimental OF support for the generic eeprom driver

[Wolfram Sang]

> Will check this tomorrow.

And while doing this and figuring the pro/cons of those methods, I stumbled over this commit:

	gpio: pca953x: Get platform_data from OpenFirmware
	(1965d30356c1c65660ba3330927671cfe81acdd5)

It looks to me that it missed all people involved in OF/DT-development and now we
have undocumented and IMO questionable properties in the kernel.

Conclusions I draw:

a) we better solve the pdata-problem rather sooner than later ;)
b) we need to spread the word about devicetree-discuss
c) more documentation may help, too

I know, 'send patches'...

Regards,

   Wolfram
