Hi Jean,

this looks good at first glance.

Maybe use unlikely() here? It's not necessarily a hotpath but at least
it would be obvious it's a corner case.

Yes, since this change doesn't seem to commit to any stable ABI, I'd
say we can drop the reference to struct resource and possibly add it
in the future. This just was the first thing that came to mind when I
suggested it.

Makes sense.

Are you sure there won't be any different models of vaio eeproms? How
about '24c02-vaio' or 'eeprom-vaio-24c02'?

All clean-ups are welcome.

Yes, it's fine with me. If more fine-grained control is needed we can
probably extend it.
