I finally found the time to give it a try. Here's what my (tested)

Comments welcome. I already have my own comments/questions:

1* Do we actually need to use a struct resource? With the current
   requirements, that looks overkill to me. We really only need the
   start and end offsets of the masked area (or start and length). Or
   do you plan to ever support multiple masked ranges, and
   resource.child would be used to daisy-chain these ranges? Personally
   I would wait until the need exists.

   Note that if we would just store mstart and mlen in struct
   at24_chip_data then we could even get rid of AT24_FLAG_MASKED_RANGE,
   as mlen > 0 would imply a masked range.

2* I chose the name "eeprom-vaio" because "vaio" would be too generic.
   I'm open to suggestions if you don't like that name.

3* at24_read() was pretty elegant before my changes, but with the need
   to remember the original value of many parameters, it no longer is.
   I'm considering rewriting it in a way that does not modify the
   parameters needed to process the masked range, either as part of
   this patch or as a subsequent clean-up patch. That would hopefully
   make the code elegant again.

4* I made the masking active only for non-root users as this is what
   the legacy eeprom driver was doing. I hope that's OK with you.

Thanks,
