Fundamental properties such as capacity and page size differ among
at24-type chips. But these chips do not have an id register, so this
can't be discovered at runtime.
Traditionally, at24-type eeprom properties were determined in two ways:
- by passing a 'struct at24_platform_data' via platform_data, or
- by naming the chip type in the devicetree, which passes a 'magic
number' to probe(), which is then converted to a 'struct
at24_platform_data'.
Recently a bug was discovered because the magic number rounds down all
chip sizes to the lowest power of two. This was addressed by
a work-around commit 5478e478ee ("eeprom: at24: correctly set the
size for at24mac402"), with the wish that magic numbers should over
time be converted to structs.
This patch replaces the magic numbers with 'struct at24_chip_data'.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
