That makes sense, I'll switch to the new board setup in V2.

Using nvmem cells would work better for this case, but in the future I will
need to read the EEPROM anyway to implement some features specific to the
laptop based on the features flag. I figured I'd get the EEPROM loading done
now rather than later, though if this is jumping the gun I can just change
it to an nvmem patch.
