Except that the Renesas part is called differently (as Sergei already pointed
out), unlike the Atmel and Microchip parts.

So it should be:

        compatible = "renesas,r1ex24002", "<something>,24c02";

Unfortunately the datasheet doesn't mention compatibility with parts from
other manufacturers.

So let's <something> be "atmel"?

BTW, we have a similar issue with Genmai, which has an R1EX24128.

In personal conversations with technical people, I call myself a hacker. But
when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
