How does this work in the kernel? Grepping around on what we list currently even, I see that Documentation/devicetree/bindings/eeprom/eeprom.txt lists some of the ones we have in drivers/misc/i2c_eeprom.c as an example but nothing catching on the compatible string. Does the kernel have some smart logic to match these compatibles? If so, could we mirror that? Thanks!
