Hi Heiko,

My feeling is that Linux driver is much more enhanced... it adds dummy 
devices for secondary addresses to be able to read the second part of 
the eeproms and adjusts the offset

  https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/latest/source/drivers/misc/eeprom
/at24.c#L530

and

https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/latest/source/drivers/misc/eeprom/at24.c#L673

In our u-boot case our driver is much simpler so we would have to cope 
with this scenario.

Heiko can you please look at the v2 of this patch. My fix is even more 
simpler with the new changes in U-boot. This patch is based on old u-boot

Thanks !
