-	 * If the 'label' property is not present for the AT24 EEPROM,
-	 * then nvmem_config.id is initialised to NVMEM_DEVID_AUTO,
-	 * and this will append the 'devid' to the name of the NVMEM
-	 * device. This is purely legacy and the AT24 driver has always
-	 * defaulted to this. However, if the 'label' property is
-	 * present then this means that the name is specified by the
-	 * firmware and this name should be used verbatim and so it is
-	 * not necessary to append the 'devid'.
+	 * We initialize nvmem_config.id to NVMEM_DEVID_AUTO even if the
+	 * label property is set as some platform can have multiple eeproms
+	 * with same label and we can not register each of those with same
+	 * label. Failing to register those eeproms trigger cascade failure
+	 * on such platform.
