Yes, I think it's enough, of course if it's not the right one, you
always can re-write until you
get the right eeprom. Good luck!

The rewrite_eeprom.pl is available under git.utils tree:
http://git.linuxtv.org/v4l-utils.git

All instructions are available into the source code. Let me know if
you have any problem with such tool.

BTW, maybe is a good idea to create at wikipage a page for EEPROMs.

Cheers
Douglas
