I have told to Linus what Xilinx is using for FMC connector present on the most of xilinx development boards. These on board FMC eeproms contain information in FRU format. Also there incomplete support fmc support in the kernel in drivers/fmc which was added by Alessandro Rubini in 2013.
At least these eeprom could reuse FRU data format.
The FRU is a very tasteful design IMO and since it is a discoverable (plug and play!) bus I think we should have a clean FRU bus driver along Alessandro's suggestion to support them and spawn devices much like I do, as long as there is interest and some person who spends time writing the bus driver for it.
