Bah I probably just screwed up syntactically and now worked around
a non-existing problem. I will try as you suggest, just "vendor,type"
and see if it works. It probably does.

(It does)

But it is a bit strange. Grepping for compatible.*24c finds quite
a few instances of "bad" compatible strings.

Many on the patterns at,24c256 and at24,24c256 (should be probably
be atmel,24c256) but also a few atmel,at24c16 and atmel,at24c128b.
I don't understand how those last ones ever worked, if it is not
working for you? Especially those with the trailing "b". WTF?

Those are the erroneous device trees that I copied as inspiration
instead of looking directly at the bindings.
