FMC: make eeprom attribute writable

This allows easier modification to the eeprom than loading the
fmc-write-eeprom module.  The carrier driver will refuse writing if
the FPGA is not running the golden gateware image, so writing in
practice is only available at manufacture/development time.

Writing to the EEPROM
Accessing the EEPROM
=====================
Once you have created a binary file for your EEPROM, you can write it
to the storage medium using the fmc-write-eeprom (See *note
fmc-write-eeprom::, while relying on a carrier driver. The procedure
here shown here uses the SPEC driver
(`http://www.ohwr.org/projects/spec-sw').
The example assumes no driver is already loaded (actually, I unloaded
them by hand as everything loads automatically at boot time after you
installed the modules), and shows kernel messages together with
commands. Here the prompt is spusa.root# and two SPEC cards are plugged
in the system.

Reading back the EEPROM
=======================
In order to read back the binary content of the EEPROM of your
mezzanine device, the bus creates a read-only sysfs file called eeprom
for each mezzanine it knows about:
spusa.root# cd /sys/bus/fmc/devices; ls -l */eeprom
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 8192 Apr 9 16:53 FmcDelay1ns4cha-f001/eeprom
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 8192 Apr 9 17:19 fake-design-for-testing-f002/eeprom
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 8192 Apr 9 17:19 fake-design-for-testing-f003/eeprom
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 8192 Apr 9 17:19 fmc-f004/eeprom
The bus creates a sysfs binary file called eeprom for each mezzanine it
knows about:
spusa.root# cd /sys/bus/fmc/devices; ls -l */eeprom
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 8192 Feb 21 12:30 FmcAdc100m14b4cha-0800/eeprom
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 8192 Feb 21 12:30 FmcDelay1ns4cha-0200/eeprom
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 8192 Feb 21 12:30 FmcDio5cha-0400/eeprom
Everybody can read the files and the superuser can also modify it, but
the operation may on the carrier driver, if the carrier is unable to
access the I2C bus. For example, the spec driver can access the bus
only with its golden gateware: after a mezzanine driver reprogrammed
the FPGA with a custom circuit, the carrier is unable to access the
EEPROM and returns ENOTSUPP.
An alternative way to write the EEPROM is the mezzanine driver
fmc-write-eeprom (See *note fmc-write-eeprom::), but the procedure is
more complex.
