Hi Wolfram,
I'm surprised that this would work. I've patched the at24 driver as well
to use OF data, but took a different approach.
As far as I could tell, using compatible = <24c64>; didn't load the right
module
(module name is at24) and using at24 caused a device id mismatch because
at24 is not a known device ID. I could be wrong here and if so, I'd very
much
like a source code hint as to why...
My patch worked by changing drivers/of/of_i2c.c to allow a generic
kind = " " statement that was filled in as i2c_board_info.type, to allow
the module name and the device id to be different.
This makes the at24 driver no longer rely on probing (which it claims
is buggy anyway) and also benefits other drivers that support multiple
devices, but where probing is difficult (e.g. lm90 driver).
I'm in the process of getting employer approval to get these patches
upstream.
Regards,
Stijn

Subject: [PATCH 1/3] misc: at24: parse OF-data, too
Information about the pagesize and read-only-status may also come from
the devicetree. Parse this data, too, and act accordingly. While we are
here, change the initialization printout a bit. write_max is useful to
know to detect performance bottlenecks, the rest is superfluous.

+EEPROMs (I2C)

+Required properties:
+
+ - compatible : should be "<manufacturer>,<type>"
+ If there is no specific driver for <manufacturer>, a generic
+ driver based on <type> is selected. Possible types are:
+ 24c00, 24c01, 24c02, 24c04, 24c08, 24c16, 24c32, 24c64,
+ 24c128, 24c256, 24c512, 24c1024, spd
+
+ - reg : the I2C address of the EEPROM
+
+Optional properties:
+
+ - pagesize : the length of the pagesize for writing. Please consult the
+ manual of your device, that value varies a lot. A wrong
value
+ may result in data loss! If not specified, a safety value of
+ '1' is used which will be very slow.
+
+ - read-only: this parameterless property disables writes to the eeprom
+
+Example:
+
+eep...@52 {
+ compatible = "atmel,24c32";
+ reg = <0x52>;
+ pagesize = <32>;
+};
