/*
- * If the 'label' property is not present for the AT24 EEPROM,
- * then nvmem_config.id is initialised to NVMEM_DEVID_AUTO,
- * and this will append the 'devid' to the name of the NVMEM
- * device. This is purely legacy and the AT24 driver has always
- * defaulted to this. However, if the 'label' property is
- * present then this means that the name is specified by the
- * firmware and this name should be used verbatim and so it is
- * not necessary to append the 'devid'.
+ * We initialize nvmem_config.id to NVMEM_DEVID_AUTO even if the
+ * label property is set as some platform can have multiple eeproms
+ * with same label and we can not register each of those with same
+ * label. Failing to register those eeproms trigger cascade failure
+ * on such platform.
