-Atmel AT25 eeprom
+EEPROMs (SPI) compatible with Atmel at25.
 
 Required properties:
 - compatible : "atmel,at25".
 - reg : chip select number
 - spi-max-frequency : max spi frequency to use
+- pagesize : size of the eeprom page
+- size : total eeprom size in bytes
+- address-width : number of address bits (one of 8, 16, or 24)
 
+Optional properties:
+- spi-cpha : SPI shifted clock phase, as per spi-bus bindings.
+- spi-cpol : SPI inverse clock polarity, as per spi-bus bindings.
+- read-only : this parameter-less property disables writes to the eeprom
+
+Obsolete legacy properties are can be used in place of "size", "pagesize",
+"address-width", and "read-only":
 - at25,byte-len : total eeprom size in bytes
 - at25,addr-mode : addr-mode flags, as defined in include/linux/spi/eeprom.h
 - at25,page-size : size of the eeprom page
 
-Examples:
-at25@0 {
-	compatible = "atmel,at25";
-	reg = <0>
-	spi-max-frequency = <5000000>;
+Additional compatible properties are also allowed.
 
-	at25,byte-len = <0x8000>;
-	at25,addr-mode = <2>;
-	at25,page-size = <64>;
-};
+Example:
+	at25@0 {
+		compatible = "atmel,at25", "st,m95256";
+		reg = <0>
+		spi-max-frequency = <5000000>;
+		spi-cpha;
+		spi-cpol;
+
+		pagesize = <64>;
+		size = <32768>;
+		address-width = <16>;
+	};
