Why didn't you touch
arch/arm/boot/dts/uniphier-ref-daughter.dtsi ?



BTW, has the driver change merged?

Because the compatible string "microchip,24lc128" used by the I2C
EEPROM node on that DTS is not supported by the
drivers/misc/eeprom/at24.c driver (in fact the only occurrence for
24lc128 I see is in that DTS).

Maybe is a typo and it should be "microchip,24c128" instead ? In any
case, I think this should be fixed as a separate patch and is out of
scope for this series.

No, it hasn't been merged yet but there's no strict order in which the
changes should be picked so the DTS patches can be applied
independently. I haven't had feedback from Wolfram yet, but he was the
one who suggested this and so I guess he will be Ok with the driver
changes.

I do not think so.
I consulted a board developer.

I also see 24LC128 on Microchip web site:
http://www.microchip.com/wwwproducts/en/24LC128

Ah Ok, it was just a wild guess I did since the at24 driver didn't
have support for this chip variant.
My point stands though, this is an unrelated change to the goal of
this patch-series and should be fixed separately.

Javier
