No, it's possible to get a board without an EEPROM and we have some of them
lying around here.

So no, the memory is not encoded anywhere on the module.

Yeah. We are discussing some solutions for that like GPIOs, EEPROM or EFuses,
but nothing has emerged from that and they are only viable for new products.
One simple thing would be to encode the memory configuration into the barebox
image filename. So a user can look at the module, count the memory chips and
banks, and pick the correct image for that.
Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Kind regards,
