Not that odd.

Wait for the busy flag to not be true, address WDT issues if necessary
Set EARL and EARH, issue a read command, and pick up the result.
Put the address register to non-existent space in case of a rouge write.

This routine assumes Z is set with the address in EEspace, and data is in TEMP
TEMP2 is just a scratch register.

Read_EE:
         in      TEMP2,EECR              ;Poll for EECR,2=0 before continuing!
         andi    TEMP2,$03               ;Not sure you need ALL 
flags=0 but it's harmless
                                         ;See bug description in Write_EE
         brne    Read_EE                 ;Potential to loop forever.

         out     EEARH,ZH                ;Set up the address
         out     EEARL,ZL                ;
         sbi     EECR,EERE               ;Set EE Read Enable
         in      TEMP,EEDR               ;Get the data

         adiw    ZL,1                    ;Inc the pointer

         ldi     TEMP2,$FF               ;Point at non-existent location
         out     EEARL,TEMP2             ;when not in active use.
         out     EEARH,TEMP2             ;

         ret                             ;
