Could you explain why please?

Are greybus I2C bus masters different from physical I2C bus masters?
Are greybus SPI bus masters different from physical SPI bus masters?

I don't think you need to put the DT overlay in the EEPROM. All you
need to do is translate the manifest into DT for those simple devices
which can be described by the limited manifest format. For more
complex devices, you use the ID to go find a DT fragment which
describes the board, and skip the manifest to DT transformation.
