The EEPROM was designed as a way to differentiate between different TI
EVMs, not as a generic way to differentiate between various possible
board hook-ups. Even if we did define it that way, why would all boards
using AM437x have an onboard EEPROM?

We could request this information be placed in EEPROM and see if
hardware folks oblige, but I don't see how that's going to be used
beyond TI EVMs.

Thanks,
