While the laptop I originally developed decode-vaio on, only had 5 i2c
buses, there could be more on other models, and there are definitely
more on the system I use to test the script (using i2c-stub) these
days. So look for the VAIO EEPROM on up to 32 i2c buses to be on the
safe side.

To get rid of the problem entirely, can't we do something like this
with shell globs? Pseudo code:

	foreach (/sys/bus/i2c/devices/*-0057/eeprom)
		$found += <found device>

	if (!$found)
		foreach (/proc/sys/dev/sensors/eeprom-i2c-*-57)
		check_old_interface
		$found += <found device>

You have hit my perl knowledge limits ;-)

I know that arbitrary limits are bad, but the thing is, I'm not sure if
there is any actual user left for that script. I adjusted it for the
at24 driver because *if* there are users left then things should keep
working. But I wrote all this in 2001, laptops from then are definitely
no longer in use, and at this point I have no idea if recent VAIO
laptops still have this EEPROM.

So until someone comes to me with a recent VAIO laptop that needs this,
I am reluctant to invest more time into this.

Fully agreed!
