+fmc-write-eeprom
+================
+
+This module is designed to load a binary file from /lib/firmware and to
+write it to the internal EEPROM of the mezzanine card. This driver uses
+the `busid' generic parameter.
+
+Overwriting the EEPROM is not something you should do daily, and it is
+expected to only happen during manufacturing. For this reason, the
+module makes it unlikely for the random user to change a working EEPROM.
+
+The module takes the following measures:
+
+ * It accepts a `file=' argument (within /lib/firmware) and if no
+ such argument is received, it doesn't write anything to EEPROM
+ (i.e. there is no default file name).
+
+ * If the file name ends with `.bin' it is written verbatim starting
+ at offset 0.
+
+ * If the file name ends with `.tlv' it is interpreted as
+ type-length-value (i.e., it allows writev(2)-like operation).
+
+ * If the file name doesn't match any of the patterns above, it is
+ ignored and no write is performed.
+
+ * Only cards listed with `busid=' are written to. If no busid is
+ specified, no programming is done (and the probe function of the
+ driver will fail).
+
+
+Each TLV tuple is formatted in this way: the header is 5 bytes,
+followed by data. The first byte is `w' for write, the next two bytes
+represent the address, in little-endian byte order, and the next two
+represent the data length, in little-endian order. The length does not
+include the header (it is the actual number of bytes to be written).
+
+This is a real example: that writes 5 bytes at position 0x110:
+
+ spusa.root# od -t x1 -Ax /lib/firmware/try.tlv
+ 000000 77 10 01 05 00 30 31 32 33 34
+ 00000a
+ spusa.root# insmod /tmp/fmc-write-eeprom.ko busid=0x0200 file=try.tlv
+ [19983.391498] spec 0000:03:00.0: write 5 bytes at 0x0110
+ [19983.414615] spec 0000:03:00.0: write_eeprom: success
+
+Please note that you'll most likely want to use SDBFS to build your
+EEPROM image, at least if your mezzanines are being used in the White
+Rabbit environment. For this reason the TLV format is not expected to
+be used much and is not expected to be developed further.
+
+If you want to try reflashing fake EEPROM devices, you can use the
+fmc-fakedev.ko module (see *note fmc-fakedev::). Whenever you change
+the image starting at offset 0, it will deregister and register again
+after two seconds. Please note, however, that if fmc-write-eeprom is
+still loaded, the system will associate it to the new device, which
+will be reprogrammed and thus will be unloaded after two seconds. The
+following example removes the module after it reflashed fakedev the
+first time.

+Writing to the EEPROM
+=====================
+
+Once you have created a binary file for your EEPROM, you can write it
+to the storage medium using the fmc-write-eeprom (See *note
+fmc-write-eeprom::, while relying on a carrier driver. The procedure
+here shown here uses the SPEC driver
+(`http://www.ohwr.org/projects/spec-sw').
+
+The example assumes no driver is already loaded (actually, I unloaded
+them by hand as everything loads automatically at boot time after you
+installed the modules), and shows kernel messages together with
+commands. Here the prompt is spusa.root# and two SPEC cards are plugged
+in the system.

+Reading back the EEPROM
+=======================
+
+In order to read back the binary content of the EEPROM of your
+mezzanine device, the bus creates a read-only sysfs file called eeprom
+for each mezzanine it knows about:
+
+ spusa.root# cd /sys/bus/fmc/devices; ls -l */eeprom
