What sort of EEPROM  layout are you looking for? The tables in the SRM show
the address and the data. Not sure what more you need.

Yes, the serial numbers could be the same, but there is code in there for
manufacturers information. We are not in the business of policing what
people do with this design in their products. It is up to them to handle
that.
