I would do something more simple that is just a list of keys and their
location like this:

device-serial-number = <start size>;
key1 = <start size>;
key2 = <start size>;

There are pros and cons doing it as list of keys.

One reason for doing it as fixed properties("eeproms", "eemprom-names") is
"consistency and familiarity" like interrupts, regs, dmas, clocks, pinctrl,
reset, pwm have fixed property names, trying to get most subsystems to do it
the same way makes it easier for people to write dts files.

And eeprom-names was something that was asked for last time we
discussed it (I don't really remember who though, maybe Arnd?)
