Javier Martinez Canillas 2f13f8c50a dt-bindings: i2c: eeprom: Document vendor to be used and deprecated ones
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 driver defines only a set of compatible strings
using the "atmel" vendor as a generic fallback for compatible I2C devices.

Document in the Device Tree binding document that this manufacturer should
be used as the generic fallback. Also document the deprecated vendors.

EEPROMs (I2C)
Required properties:
- compatible : should be "<manufacturer>,<type>", like these:
"atmel,24c00", "atmel,24c01", "atmel,24c02", "atmel,24c04",
"atmel,24c08", "atmel,24c16", "atmel,24c32", "atmel,24c64",
"atmel,24c128", "atmel,24c256", "atmel,24c512", "atmel,24c1024"
"catalyst,24c32"
"microchip,24c128"
"ramtron,24c64"
"renesas,r1ex24002"
The following manufacturers values have been deprecated:
"at", "at24"
If there is no specific driver for <manufacturer>, a generic
device with <type> and manufacturer "atmel" should be used.
Possible types are:
"24c00", "24c01", "24c02", "24c04", "24c08", "24c16", "24c32", "24c64",
"24c128", "24c256", "24c512", "24c1024", "spd"
- reg : the I2C address of the EEPROM
Optional properties:
- pagesize : the length of the pagesize for writing. Please consult the
manual of your device, that value varies a lot. A wrong value
may result in data loss! If not specified, a safety value of
'1' is used which will be very slow.
- read-only: this parameterless property disables writes to the eeprom
Example:
eeprom@52 {
compatible = "atmel,24c32";
reg = <0x52>;
pagesize = <32>;
};
