A new Flyspray task has been opened.  Details are below.

Summary - [SUNXI] ImageBuilder fails because of kmod-eeprom-sunxi
Task Type - Bug Report
Category - Base system
Status - Unconfirmed
Assigned To - 
Operating System - All
Severity - Low
Priority - Very Low
Reported Version - lede-17.01
Due in Version - Undecided
Due Date - Undecided
Details - soc: sunxi
LEDE 17.01.1

How to reproduce:

 - clone lede source
 - checkout to 17.01 branch
 - configure a build with sunxi target (i'm trying with Lomobo R1)
 - compile imagebuilder
 - extract imagebuilder
 - try to generate images

The imagebuilder will fail, complaining that kmod-eeprom-sunxi is missing.

Looking for this module in make menuconfig, I found:

Depends on: TARGET_sunxi [=y] && !LINUX_4_4 [=y]

It seems it doesn't want the Kernel 4.4 but according to more devs this doesn't make much sense, hence a cleanup would be desirable.
