For example, I recently added support to read the seeprom on a 2842 to this code (not yet committed) and I had to make quite a few changes to the interface to make if flexible enough to be shared by the 2842 probe code and the aic78X0 probe code. I believe that the there are quite a few drivers (de??, fxp??) that access a 93cx6, so it may be worth changing the interface to make it even more flexible and making these other drivers use it, but until that happens, I don't think its worth moving it. -- Justin T.
