This is needed for the upcoming esd MECP5123 board port which uses I2C EEPROM for environment storage.
Stefan, please check if this is really what you want to do. Environmentin EEPROM is *strongly* discouraged. It is slow like hell, and even more unreliable. Do *not* do this. Check if you can use any other storage - NOR or NAND flash, or the like.
I know that EEPROM has some disadvantages. But this is not my choice but the customers (esd) decision. esd has used I2C EEPROM for environment storage for a long time and even included write-protection to the EEPROM.
Best regards, Stefan
