From 5b644aa012f67fd211138a067b9f351f30bdcc60 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rafał Miłecki Date: Wed, 14 Mar 2018 13:10:42 +0100 Subject: mtd: partitions: add of_match_table parser matching for the "ofpart" type MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit In order to properly support compatibility strings as described in the bindings/mtd/partition.txt "ofpart" type should be treated as an indication for looking into OF. MTD should check "compatible" property and search for a matching parser rather than blindly trying the one supporting "fixed-partitions". It also means that existing "fixed-partitions" parser should get renamed to use a more meaningful name. This commit achievies that aim by introducing a new mtd_part_of_parse(). It works by looking for a matching parser for every string in the "compatibility" property (starting with the most specific one). Please note that driver-specified parsers still take a precedence. It's assumed that driver providing a parser type has a good reason for that (e.g. having platform data with device-specific info). Also doing otherwise could break existing setups. The same applies to using default parsers (including "cmdlinepart") as some overwrite DT data with cmdline argument. Partition parsers can now provide an of_match_table to enable flash<-->parser matching via device tree as documented in the mtd/partition.txt. This support is currently limited to built-in parsers as it uses request_module() and friends. This should be sufficient for most cases though as compiling parsers as modules isn't a common choice.
