EEPROM driver

Wed Sep 30 00:34:13 AEST 2015

The EEPROM connected to the BMC is an AT24C256.  This is already
supported by a kernel driver: drivers/misc/eeprom/at24.c.  It is enabled
with EEPROM_AT24.

If we have enabled this driver correctly and probe the i2c bus then
there will be an entry in /sys/bus/i2c/devices/ with a file containing
the EEPROM data.  This file can then be passed to our IPMI FRU parser
and then updated in the appropriate fru-manager DBus object.
