    eeprom: at24: add support for the write-protect pin · 6ce261e8
    Bartosz Golaszewski authored
    AT24 EEPROMs have a write-protect pin, which - when pulled high -
    inhibits writes to the upper quadrant of memory (although it has been
    observed that on some chips it disables writing to the entire memory
    range).
    
    On some boards, this pin is connected to a GPIO and pulled high by
    default, which forces the user to manually change its state before
    writing. On linux this means that we either need to hog the line all
    the time, or set the GPIO value before writing from outside of the
    at24 driver.
    
    Make the driver check if the write-protect GPIO was defined in the
    device tree and pull it low whenever writing to the EEPROM.
