Split functionality between read and write, which simplifies the code and exposes areas of optimization and more or less complexity, and take advantage of that. Read and write the table in one go; use a separate stage to decode or encode the data, as opposed to on the fly, which keeps the I2C bus busy. Use a single read/write to read/write the table or at most two if the number of records we're reading/writing wraps around. Check the check-sum of a table in EEPROM on init. Update the checksum at the same time as when updating the table header signature, when the threshold was increased on boot. Take advantage of arithmetic modulo 256, that is, use a byte!, to greatly simplify checksum arithmetic.

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.
