eeprom: remove doc and MAINTAINERS section after driver was removed
Commit 0113a99b8a
("eeprom: Remove deprecated legacy eeprom driver")
already removes the eeprom driver's code.
Remove also the eeprom driver's documentation and MAINTAINERS section.

Description
|
||||
-----------
|
||||
|
||||
This is a simple EEPROM module meant to enable reading the first 256 bytes
|
||||
of an EEPROM (on a SDRAM DIMM for example). However, it will access serial
|
||||
EEPROMs on any I2C adapter. The supported devices are generically called
|
||||
24Cxx, and are listed above; however the numbering for these
|
||||
industry-standard devices may vary by manufacturer.
|
||||
|
||||
This module was a programming exercise to get used to the new project
|
||||
organization laid out by Frodo, but it should be at least completely
|
||||
effective for decoding the contents of EEPROMs on DIMMs.
|
||||
|
||||
DIMMS will typically contain a 24C01A or 24C02, or the 34C02 variants.
|
||||
The other devices will not be found on a DIMM because they respond to more
|
||||
than one address.
|
||||
|
||||
DDC Monitors may contain any device. Often a 24C01, which responds to all 8
|
||||
addresses, is found.
|
||||
|
||||
Recent Sony Vaio laptops have an EEPROM at 0x57. We couldn't get the
|
||||
specification, so it is guess work and far from being complete.
|
||||
|
||||
The Microchip 24AA52/24LCS52, ST M34C02, and others support an additional
|
||||
software write protect register at 0x30 - 0x37 (0x20 less than the memory
|
||||
location). The chip responds to "write quick" detection at this address but
|
||||
does not respond to byte reads. If this register is present, the lower 128
|
||||
bytes of the memory array are not write protected. Any byte data write to
|
||||
this address will write protect the memory array permanently, and the
|
||||
device will no longer respond at the 0x30-37 address. The eeprom driver
|
||||
does not support this register.
|
||||
|
||||
Lacking functionality
|
||||
---------------------
|
||||
|
||||
* Full support for larger devices (24C04, 24C08, 24C16). These are not
|
||||
typically found on a PC. These devices will appear as separate devices at
|
||||
multiple addresses.
|
||||
|
||||
* Support for really large devices (24C32, 24C64, 24C128, 24C256, 24C512).
|
||||
These devices require two-byte address fields and are not supported.
|
||||
|
||||
* Enable Writing. Again, no technical reason why not, but making it easy
|
||||
to change the contents of the EEPROMs (on DIMMs anyway) also makes it easy
|
||||
to disable the DIMMs (potentially preventing the computer from booting)
|
||||
until the values are restored somehow.
|
||||
|
||||
Use

|
||||
|
||||
After inserting the module (and any other required SMBus/i2c modules), you
|
||||
should have some EEPROM directories in ``/sys/bus/i2c/devices/*`` of names such
|
||||
as "0-0050". Inside each of these is a series of files, the eeprom file
|
||||
contains the binary data from EEPROM.
