mtd: extend physmap_of to let the device tree specify the parition probe
This is to support custom partitioning schemes for embedded PPC. To use define your own mtd_part_parser and then add something like: linux,part-probe = "my_probe", "cmdlinepart"; To the board's dts file. If linux,part-probe is not specified then this behaves the same as before. Signed-off-by: Jason Gunthorpe <jgunthorpe@obsidianresearch.com> Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <David.Woodhouse@intel.com>
