commit d39b7dd1dcbf394a1cb897457c862dafe9a20ac5 upstream.

Not a single line of actual code in the function was really
fundamentally correct.

Problems ranged from lack of proper range checking, to removing the last
character written (which admittedly is usually '\n'), to not accepting
hex numbers even though the 'show' routine would show the data in that
format.

This tries to do better.

eeprom/at25: bugfix "not ready" timeout after write 2009-07-30T02:10:35+00:00 Sebastian Heutling heutling@who-ing.de 2009-07-29T22:04:05+00:00 f0d83679a8d471dc8b646919f70595d6fe8c9606 Under certain circumstances msleep(1) within the loop, which waits for the EEPROM to be finished, might take longer than the timeout. On the next loop the status register might now return to be ready and therefore the loop finishes. The following check now tests if a timeout occurred and if so returns an error although the device reported it was ready. This fix replaces testing the occurrence of the timeout by testing the "not ready" bit in the status register.
