Hi,


I sent in another patch earlier that added support for specifying a file in
devicetree to initilize the eeprom from, corresponding to the case of
pre-flashed eeprom. Maybe these two patches should be merged so this
initialization is only done if no file is specified?
Yes, I agree.

It looks like Bjorn's referenced patches are still unmerged also?
Yes, it might be easiest if he merges your patch (with attribution) into
the else branch of his fw-load patch.


OK, so to summarize, I should update my patch to use device_property_read_string() instead and also init the memory to 0XFF if no file is present. And change name of the function to i2c_slave_init_eeprom_data.


I will look into that and let you know once I'm done.
