24c256 backup and restore
/*
Utility to dump and restore a 24c256 eeprom.
(Changing the defines it will work with other eeproms too.)
Remember that 24c256 has 16 bit addressing.
Smaller ones have 8 bit addressing.
By Zibri.
Usage: 24c256br /dev/i2c-X >eep_dump.bin to dump.
24c256br /dev/i2c-X <eep_dump.bin to restore.
