eXMeritus HWW-1U-1A: Add support for the AT24C128N I2C EEPROM
This EEPROM is hardware-write-protected and used to persist key
information such as the serial number and MAC addresses even if the
primary environment sector in NOR FLASH is overwritten.
During manufacturing, the environment is initialized from Linux and then
the key parameters copied to the EEPROM via U-Boot:
env export -c -s 0x2000 $loadaddr serial# macaddr mac1addr mac2addr
eeprom write $loadaddr 0x0000 0x2000
The chip is then locked via hardware for delivery.
When doing a field U-Boot upgrade, the environment is erased and reset
to the defaults to avoid problems with "hwconfig" changes, etc. After
loading the new U-Boot image, the hardware data is reloaded:
i2c dev 0
eeprom read $loadaddr 0x0000 0x2000
env import -c $loadaddr 0x2000
saveenv
The first three commands are saved in the "restore_eeprom" variable for
user convenience. (EG: "run restore_eeprom && saveenv")
