The nvmem cell binding applies to all eeprom child nodes matching
"^.*@[0-9a-f]+$" without taking a compatible into account.
Linux drivers, like at24, are even more extensive and assume
_all_ at24 eeprom child nodes to be nvmem cells since e888d445ac33
("nvmem: resolve cells from DT at registration time").
Since df5f3b6f5357 ("dt-bindings: nvmem: stm32: new property for
data access"), the additionalProperties: True means it's Ok to have
other properties as long as they don't match "^.*@[0-9a-f]+$".
The barebox bootloader extends the MTD partitions binding to
EEPROM and can fix up following device tree node:
&eeprom {
partitions {
compatible = "fixed-partitions";
};
};
This is allowed binding-wise, but drivers using nvmem_register()
like at24 will fail to parse because the function expects all child
nodes to have a reg property present. This results in the whole
EEPROM driver probe failing despite the device tree being correct.
Fix this by skipping nodes lacking a reg property instead of
returning an error. This effectively makes the drivers adhere
to the binding because all nodes with a unit address must have
a reg property and vice versa.
Fixes: e888d445ac33 ("nvmem: resolve cells from DT at registration time").

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
