eeprom: Deprecate the legacy eeprom driver 



Time has come to get rid of the old eeprom driver. The at24 driver
should be used instead. So mark the eeprom driver as deprecated and
give users some time to migrate. Then we can remove the legacy
eeprom driver completely.

	  If you say yes here you get read-only access to the EEPROM data

	  available on modern memory DIMMs and Sony Vaio laptops via I2C. Such

	  EEPROMs could theoretically be available on other devices as well.



	  This driver is deprecated and will be removed soon, please use the

	  better at24 driver instead.



	  This driver can also be built as a module.  If so, the module

	  will be called eeprom.
