Please cherry-pick the following commit to 4.14 and 4.18:

    commit a2b3bf4846e5eed62ea6abb096af2c950961033c
    Author: Alan Chiang <alanx.chiang@intel.com>
    Date:   Wed Jul 25 11:20:22 2018 +0800

    eeprom: at24: Add support for address-width property
    
    Provide a flexible way to determine the addressing bits of eeprom.
    Pass the addressing bits to driver through address-width property.

Confirmed to work on 4.14 with the Identification Page
of an ST M24M02-DR (256 bytes but 16 bit addressing).

Cannot be cherry-picked trivially on 4.9.

The corresponding documentation commit 21d04054501fb27b56e995b54ac74e39aee79a46
can be cherry-picked to 4.18, the backport for 4.14 is below.

Thanks
Adrian

Subject: [PATCH] dt-bindings: at24: Add address-width property

Currently the only way to use a variant of a supported model with
a different address width is to define a new compatible string and
the corresponding chip data structure.

Provide a flexible way to specify the size of the address pointer
by defining a new property: address-width.

This patch doesn't look like stable material. The hardware never worked
before, so this is not a regression and falls under new hardware
enablement, but the patch is more complex than what we usually allow for
hardware enablement (adding various IDs/quirks/etc).

Am I missing something?

IMHO it is a pretty straightforward quirk for hardware enablement.

Note that the quirk will only be used if explicitely enabled in the
device tree, for everyone else this code is a nop.

All,

The original author Alanx chiang has left the company. I assigned Ken to help handle the cherrypick task (4.14 and 4.18).

Regards, Andy

Fair enough. I've queued it for 4.18 and 4.14.
