The user in this case is the Micrel KS8851 which has a direction
control for the EEPROM data line and thus needs to know whether
to drive it (writing) or to tristate it for receiving.

FYI, I will not be reviewing this patch nor any other patch to the
eeprom_93cx6 driver. I have no clue what these devices are, no access
to any and no interest in them either.
