We should atleast attempt to pitch in this direction, and ask if
somebody really cares if the location of the eeprom/nvmem file matters
to them?

We should probably check with Anatolij Gustschin.

Anatolij, Do you see any issues if we totally move this driver to nvmem
framework? Which involves relocating and renameing the old eeprom file
to /sys/bus/nvmem/devices/*/nvmem
