Right now I have:

Optional properties:
- eeprom-length : Set to the length of an EEPROM connected to the
switch. Must be set if the switch can not detect
the presence and/or size of a connected EEPROM,
otherwise optional.

and I think Andrew is asking for the following:

Optional properties:
- eeprom-present : Boolean property indicating that an EEPROM is present.
Must be set if an EEPROM is present.
- eeprom-length : Set to the length of an EEPROM connected to the
switch. Must be set if the switch can not detect
the size of a connected EEPROM, otherwise optional.

Platform data semantics would be the same.

I can go either way, but I would like to get some kind of agreement before I jump
into writing the code.

Thanks,
Guenter
