I did try your suggestion, by which I could remove the regmap from 
config. One thing I did not like was eeprom-core getting size/stride 
info directly from providers and regmap from regmap apis. I was 
wondering if we could take a step further and introduce new regmap 
helpers like

regmap_get_size(regmap)
regmap_get_stride(regmap)

Which would be give eeprom-core the size and stride info, doing this way 
would cut down regmap related things from eeprom_config structure to 
minimal and also the source of information would come from just regmap apis.
