The "eeprom" file is only created if both "base_dev" and "compat" are set.
decode-dimms depends on it. While decode-dimms has to be updated anyway,
I did not want to make that more complicated than necessary.

Another option would be not to use the nvmem subsystem in the first place,
similar to the ee1004 driver, but my understanding is that the use of the
nvmem subsystem is preferred.

We could, but I prefer to avoid conditionals in the code if possible,
the dummy devm_nvmem_register() is there specifically to cover that
situation, and no other driver does that. Also, since the underlying
functions are dummy, the compiler should optimize it all away if
CONFIG_NVMEM=n.
