[Robert P. J. Day]

  continuing to peruse all the build details for MPC8315E-RDB, and ran
across a 2015 patch from bruce ashfield to enable EEPROM in the dts:

but i don't see that patch as having been upstreamed into the main
kernel repo. is it in transit? or what is the policy for pushing
clearly useful stuff like this upstream to kernel.org?
