I'm trying to understand why this shouldn't use
the existing EEPROM driver...

The primary reason to use an MTD interface has
been to stick a filesystem on top of it, like
JFFS2 or (nowadays) UBI.

Sticking MTD on top of an EEPROM seems like a
very odd model.  Especially when there's only
two pages of memory in the EEPROM ... hardly
enough to handle filesystem overhead.


If it were appropriate to have an MTD interface
to an EEPROM, it shouldn't be DaVinci-specific.
