Special handling of the Sony VAIO EEPROMs is the last feature of the legacy eeprom driver that the at24 driver does not support. Adding this would let us deprecate and eventually remove the legacy eeprom driver. So add the option to specify a post-processing callback function that is called after reading data from the EEPROM, before it is returned to the user. The 24c02-vaio type is the first use case of that option: the callback function will mask the sensitive data for non-root users exactly as the legacy eeprom driver was doing.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
