16 * Partition definition structure:
17 *
18 * An array of struct partition is passed along with a MTD object to
19 * mtd_device_register() to create them.
20 *
21 * For each partition, these fields are available:
22 * name: string that will be used to label the partition's MTD device.
23 * types: some partitions can be containers using specific format to describe
24 * embedded subpartitions / volumes. E.g. many home routers use "firmware"
25 * partition that contains at least kernel and rootfs. In such case an
26 * extra parser is needed that will detect these dynamic partitions and
27 * report them to the MTD subsystem. If set this property stores an array
28 * of parser names to use when looking for subpartitions.
29 * size: the partition size; if defined as MTDPART_SIZ_FULL, the partition
30 * will extend to the end of the master MTD device.
31 * offset: absolute starting position within the master MTD device; if
32 * defined as MTDPART_OFS_APPEND, the partition will start where the
33 * previous one ended; if MTDPART_OFS_NXTBLK, at the next erase block;
34 * if MTDPART_OFS_RETAIN, consume as much as possible, leaving size
35 * after the end of partition.
36 * mask_flags: contains flags that have to be masked (removed) from the
37 * master MTD flag set for the corresponding MTD partition.
38 * For example, to force a read-only partition, simply adding
39 * MTD_WRITEABLE to the mask_flags will do the trick.
40 * add_flags: contains flags to add to the parent flags
41 *
42 * Note: writeable partitions require their size and offset be
43 * erasesize aligned (e.g. use MTDPART_OFS_NEXTBLK).
