If eeprom should only be used to read serial-number - yes. But this
RFID-eeprom provides more space and functionality. Why not make it
available for barebox and linux to be able to do more things with it?

We would have the same issue with the board code. It seems to work just for
this particular barebox version and i2c controller was accidentally probed
before board code.

I think it is time to talk about deferred probe patches made by Lucas ;)
