Do they provide the same features ?

It will, be currently such errors are not errors, but warnings: they
don't make the build fail. Yann recently posted a patch that would
allow to turn such warnings into errors, but there are so many of such
overwrites today that enabling such an option in the autobuilders would
turn almost all results to NOK.

I don't use eeprog, so I don't really care. But if the standalone
eeprog and the one on i2c-tools are equivalent, I think it makes sense
to keep the one from i2c-tools.
Best regards,
