I think it will be called "eeprom-sunxi-sid". Am I right?

(There must be thousands of lines like this in the various Kconfig
files. Has anyone ever tried to autogenerate this info for the make
*config tools? Probably rather complicated...)

So the license is GPL v2.

Which means you probably want
    MODULE_LICENSE("GPL v2");

But the previous driver was GPL v2 or later.

Was it intended to re-license this, or is the code basically new? (I
haven't compared the before and after code, to be honest.)
