4 Subject: [PATCH] mtd: partitions: add of_match_table parser matching for the
7 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
10 In order to properly support compatibility strings as described in the
11 bindings/mtd/partition.txt "ofpart" type should be treated as an
12 indication for looking into OF. MTD should check "compatible" property
13 and search for a matching parser rather than blindly trying the one
14 supporting "fixed-partitions".
16 It also means that existing "fixed-partitions" parser should get renamed
17 to use a more meaningful name.
19 This commit achievies that aim by introducing a new mtd_part_of_parse().
20 It works by looking for a matching parser for every string in the
21 "compatibility" property (starting with the most specific one).
23 Please note that driver-specified parsers still take a precedence. It's
24 assumed that driver providing a parser type has a good reason for that
25 (e.g. having platform data with device-specific info). Also doing
26 otherwise could break existing setups. The same applies to using default
27 parsers (including "cmdlinepart") as some overwrite DT data with cmdline
30 Partition parsers can now provide an of_match_table to enable
31 flash<-->parser matching via device tree as documented in the
34 This support is currently limited to built-in parsers as it uses
35 request_module() and friends. This should be sufficient for most cases
36 though as compiling parsers as modules isn't a common choice.
