The block device to use. Most of the time, it is a partition of block device.
It's required for pstore/blk. It is also used for MTD device.
-It accepts the following variants for block device:
+When pstore/blk is built as a module, "blkdev" accepts the following variants:
-1. <hex_major><hex_minor> device number in hexadecimal represents itself; no

+1. /dev/<disk_name> represents the device number of disk
#. /dev/<disk_name><decimal> represents the device number of partition - device
number of disk plus the partition number
#. /dev/<disk_name>p<decimal> - same as the above; this form is used when disk
name of partitioned disk ends with a digit.
