Is there a reason for this driver to be using the old style?
I can understand the issues with at24/at25 but does this driver also
suffer from such issues?

In order to keep backwards compatibility, we need the older file in
/sys. The only other option is to remove it and see if anybody
complains about us breaking the ABI.
We should atleast attempt to pitch in this direction, and ask if somebody really cares if the location of the eeprom/nvmem file matters to them?

We should probably check with Anatolij Gustschin.

Anatolij, Do you see any issues if we totally move this driver to nvmem framework? Which involves relocating and renameing the old eeprom file to /sys/bus/nvmem/devices/*/nvmem
