David Daney d6ae0d578d misc/at25, dt: Improve at25 SPI eeprom device tree bindings.
Commit 002176db (misc: at25: Parse dt settings) added device tree
bindings the differ significantly in style from the I2C EEPROM
bindings and don't seem well vetted.  Here I deprecate (but still
support) the "at25,*" properties, and add what I hope is a better
alternative.  These new bindings also happen to be deployed in the
field and were previously submitted for consideration here:

https://lists.ozlabs.org/pipermail/devicetree-discuss/2012-May/015556.html

The advantages of the new bindings are that they are similar to the
I2C EEPROMs and they don't conflate read-only and the address width
modes in a binary encoded blob.

EEPROMs (SPI) compatible with Atmel at25.
Required properties:
- compatible : "atmel,at25".
- reg : chip select number
- spi-max-frequency : max spi frequency to use
- pagesize : size of the eeprom page
- size : total eeprom size in bytes
- address-width : number of address bits (one of 8, 16, or 24)
Optional properties:
- spi-cpha : SPI shifted clock phase, as per spi-bus bindings.
- spi-cpol : SPI inverse clock polarity, as per spi-bus bindings.
- read-only : this parameter-less property disables writes to the eeprom
Obsolete legacy properties are can be used in place of "size", "pagesize",
"address-width", and "read-only":
- at25,byte-len : total eeprom size in bytes
- at25,addr-mode : addr-mode flags, as defined in include/linux/spi/eeprom.h
- at25,page-size : size of the eeprom page
Additional compatible properties are also allowed.
Example:
at25@0 {
compatible = "atmel,at25", "st,m95256";
reg = <0>
spi-max-frequency = <5000000>;
spi-cpha;
spi-cpol;
pagesize = <64>;
size = <32768>;
address-width = <16>;
};
