[U-Boot] sandbox: I2C EEPROM support

Dear Simon,
I just ran over this old posting again:
09/10/2008 Ricardo Ribalda D [PATCH] I2C EEPROM simulator v2 http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.boot-loaders.u-boot/46964
We never accepted this for U-Boot mainline, but in the context of the Sandbox environment it might be interesting again.
What do you think?
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk

Yes I think it is interesting. Both Mike and I have done a SPI EEPROM implementation which is file-backed, whereas this has CONFIG-defined data.
With this sort of thing it probably needs a 'user' who wants it for a particular purpose and implements it to fit their needs, rather than us bringing in things for their own sake.

we've done a SPI flash backend. i recall the EEPROM layer being different (and ugly). not sure how it'd work in this case. -mike
