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.

Simon
