i2c: slave-eeprom: Add comment about address handling

Browse source 
The behaviour of the EEPROM in the case where we only send an 8bit
address to a 16bit address EEPROM is not defined. Added comment about
that the slave-eeprom might behave differently from how an actual device
does (only one model measured).

* FIXME: What to do if only 8 bits of a 16 bit address are sent?
* The ST-M24C64 sends only 0xff then. Needs verification with other
* EEPROMs, though. We currently use the 8 bit as a valid address.
