    May be depends REGMAP would be good.

    regmap bus does the same job.

    The only reason for using regmap here is to have more generic drivers
    for eeprom providers based on different buses like mmio, i2c, spi...
    As of today we could just make the qfprom eeprom provider as more
    generic eeprom-mmio provider. May be sunxi_sid could reuse it too with
    some effort.

    In future It may be possible to have eeprom-i2c or eeprom-spi providers.

    Good point, we should do some reference counting.
