Bug#983495: linux-image-amd64: Please enable ee1004 module

[Arjan Opmeer <arjan@opmeer.net>]

Package: linux-image-amd64
Version: 5.10.13-1
Severity: wishlist
X-Debbugs-Cc: arjan@opmeer.net

Dear Maintainer,

Could you please enable the 'ee1004' module setting in the default kernel
build?

Justification:

Debian ships the 'i2c-tools' package which contains the 'decode-dimms' user
program. Its manpage states:

   the tool requires a kernel module to be loaded: eeprom, at24
   or ee1004 (for DDR4 SDRAM.)

Running it with the 'eeprom' module loaded gives this result:

   WARNING: /sys/bus/i2c/drivers/eeprom/0-0052/eeprom is smaller than expected
   WARNING: Fewer data bytes available (256) than needed (384)
   HINT: You should be using the ee1004 driver instead of the eeprom driver

However:

   $ grep -A 1 -B 9 -i ee1004 /boot/config-5.10.0-3-amd64 

   # EEPROM support
   #
   CONFIG_EEPROM_AT24=m
   CONFIG_EEPROM_AT25=m
   CONFIG_EEPROM_LEGACY=m
   CONFIG_EEPROM_MAX6875=m
   CONFIG_EEPROM_93CX6=m
   # CONFIG_EEPROM_93XX46 is not set
   # CONFIG_EEPROM_IDT_89HPESX is not set
   # CONFIG_EEPROM_EE1004 is not set
   # end of EEPROM support

As you can see the CONFIG_EEPROM_EE1004 option is not set. Could this be
included in future kernel builds?

Thanks,

Arjan
