That does not even build:

drivers/misc/eeprom/eeprom.c: In function ‘eeprom_probe’:
drivers/misc/eeprom/eeprom.c:165:2: error: expected ‘;’ before ‘if’
  if (!data)
  ^

Please test-build patches before you send them. That's a minimum,
ideally you should also do basic run-time testing if possible.

Please also note my new e-mail address and use that when you resubmit.
