If we did this for every kernel option we'd get a huge kernel. In general, we've said that static options for what's needed to boot to rootfs (i.e. storage and network drivers for nfsroot) are fine to enable statically. I doubt you need the EEPROM driver to boot to rootfs on your system, so please enable it as a module instead. Look into using config fragments in case you need to modify the options for local builds, it should be a convenient way to have a small delta to apply to fit your internal needs, instead of completely forking the config file. -Olof
