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.

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