Subject[PATCH v4 01/20] dt-bindings: i2c: eeprom: Document vendor to be used and deprecated ones
Message-ID<tJWc2-6Hl-13@gated-at.bofh.it>
The at24 driver allows to register I2C EEPROM chips using different vendor
and devices, but the I2C subsystem does not take the vendor into account
when matching using the I2C table since it only has device entries.

But when matching using an OF table, both the vendor and device has to be
taken into account, so the exact list of supported <vendor,device> tuples
should be documented in the Device Tree binding document.

But there is no need to have different manufacturers if the EEPROM chips
from different manufacturers are really compatible, so matching using a
single "atmel" vendor is enough for all chip types.

Document in the Device Tree binding that the "atmel" manufacturer should
be used, and also document the manufacturers that have been deprecated.

Changes in v4:
- Document the manufacturers that have been deprecated (Rob Herring).

Changes in v3: None
Changes in v2: None

I don't think that's what I said.

Only at and at24 should be deprecated.

Yes, I also fixed that on v5. Could you please take a look to that
version instead?

Best regards,
