mtd: partitions: make parsers return 'const' partition arrays

2015-12-09T18:21:57+00:00

We only want to modify these arrays inside the parser "drivers", so the drivers should construct them however they like, then return them as immutable arrays. This will make other refactorings easier. Signed-off-by: Brian Norris Reviewed-by: Boris Brezillon

mtd: kill off MTD partition parser boilerplate

2015-11-20T02:46:29+00:00

Most parsers can be handled with our new boilerplate-reducing macro. There are a few that can't be (cmdlineparts and ofpart). Also kill off the owner assignments, since register_mtd_parser() now takes care of that. Signed-off-by: Brian Norris

mtd: cmdlinepart: convert printk() to pr_*()

2015-09-29T01:37:32+00:00

This driver uses some custom macros for printing. Let's use the standard pr_fmt()/pr_{err,warn}(). Signed-off-by: Brian Norris

mtd: cmdlinepart: allow small partitions

2015-09-29T01:37:31+00:00

I'm not sure why we have a PAGE_SIZE restriction on this partition parser. If we really wanted the restriction, I would expect it to be a restriction for *all* parsers, so we'd move it to the MTD core At any rate, while small partitions may not be useful (they'll often be smaller than the eraseblock size and therefore can only be used read-only), they still have use as a read-only partition. This restriction is especially annoying because it aborts the entire MTD's cmdline parsing, leaving it unpartitioned. So, let's kill the restriction and only check for zero-sized partitions, which I expect we don't want to allow. Signed-off-by: Brian Norris

mtd: cmdlinepart: update /proc/mtd comment

2013-02-04T07:26:28+00:00

/proc/mtd doesn't contain the mtd-id of the device, but the part name from the command line. This corrects what I believe is an obsolete comment from commit a0ee24a03b1c06813c814b9f70946c8984752f01. Signed-off-by: Christopher Cordahi Cc: Philip Rakity Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy

mtd: cmdlinepart: describe mtd ordering

2013-02-04T07:26:28+00:00

The mtd documentation makes no mention of the useful feature whereby partitions' logical ordering need not match their physical ordering. Truncation of parts, skipping of zero sized parts, and handling of overlapping parts are similarly not mentioned. This updates the comments at the top of file describing the command line parsing as currently implemented.
