One of the reasons for the NVMEM framework is to remove that duplicate 
code in the every driver.  There was no framework/ABI which was guiding 
such old eeprom sysfs entry in first place, so I dont see an issue in 
removing it for good. Correct me if am wrong.

IMHO, its better to move on with nvmem for good reasons, rather than 
having two sysfs binary files.
