One can't execute code out of NAND flash so the bootrom is loaded into the
EEPPROM. The CPU loads the EEPROM into the on-CPU MAC FIFO SRAM and executes
from there... That code then understands how to get the rest of the board up
from the NAND flash. We also store the ADC calibration values in the EEPROM.

So the only time the EEPROM is accessed is at boot time or when a user wants
to retrieve a calibration value for the ADC.
