Yes for "you run into issues"...

The current eeprom driver can handle multiple i2c eeproms on one i2c
bus, see define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MULTI_EEPROMS in common/cmd_eeprom.c

But not spi and i2c on one board ... and maybe you need also to specify
the eeprom addr len?

Yes its software, so that could be done.

Device driver model would help here much...
