I'm not sure what you mean.

Do you mean should the class registration/unregistration be put in
module_i2c_driver()?  That would not work as not all i2c devices are
eeproms.

Hmmm.   I don't know.  I didn't change the driver very much, just
added about 10 lines to a perfectly fine driver.  git-blame would
point right at me for anything to do with this patch.

Thanks for fixing that.
