An invalid address length here appears to indicate an unexpected
response from the EEPROM, rather than an invalid argument. Therefore,
-EINVAL seems somewhat misleading. Would -EIO be more appropriate here?
Also, e100_eeprom_save() seems to have the same pattern. Shouldn't we
fix that as well?

The commit message says that the U suffix prevents signed integer
overflow. However, after the validation addr_len is in [1, 15], so 1 <<
addr_len cannot overflow an int. I think what prevents the out-of-bounds
shift is the validation, not the U.
