From: Rafał Miłecki <rafal@xxxxxxxxxx> This patchset provides a proper support for flash device DT node with "partitions" subnode using "compatible" property. It's already documented in the: Documentation/devicetree/bindings/mtd/partition.txt We believed that version 7 was ready to go, but soon after landing in the linux-next we got a regression report from Peter. Later versions takes a safe path by: 1) Respecting parsers order as specified in the default/driver-provided list. 2) Looking at "compatible" property only when "ofpart" type gets speciied. Version 9 was successfully tested by Peter and version 10 just squashes two commits into a one. I double-checked the code and cannot think of any regression this could cause. I also hope this design (roughly discussed with Boris) can be acceptable for the mtd subsystem. The most important patch from this patchset (1/3) was reviewed by Rob in the [PATCH V6 1/2] mtd: partitions: add of_match_table parser matching https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/comment/1831551/ If possible this is a 4.17 material. Rafał Miłecki (3): mtd: partitions: add of_match_table parser matching for the "ofpart" type mtd: rename "ofpart" parser to "fixed-partitions" as it fits it better mtd: ofpart: add of_match_table with "fixed-partitions" drivers/mtd/mtdpart.c | 116 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++---- drivers/mtd/ofpart.c | 18 +++++-- include/linux/mtd/partitions.h | 1 + 3 files changed, 121 insertions(+), 14 deletions(-) -- 2.11.0 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe devicetree" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
