Introduce a generic way to define concatenated MTD devices. This may
be very useful in the case of ie. stacked SPI-NOR. Partitions to
concatenate are described in an additional property of the partitions
subnode:
flash0 {
partitions {
compatible = "fixed-partitions";
part-concat = <&flash0_part1>, <&flash1_part0>;
part0@0 {
label = "part0_0";
reg = <0x0 0x800000>;
};
flash0_part1: part1@800000 {
label = "part0_1";
reg = <0x800000 0x800000>;
};
};
};
flash1 {
partitions {
compatible = "fixed-partitions";
flash0_part1: part1@0 {
label = "part1_0";
reg = <0x0 0x800000>;
};
part0@800000 {
label = "part1_1";
reg = <0x800000 0x800000>;
};
};
};
This is useful for boards where memory range has been extended with
the use of multiple flash chips as memory banks of a single MTD
device, with partitions spanning chip borders.

+ This driver allows creation of a virtual MTD device, which
+ concatenates multiple physical MTD devices into a single one.
+ This is useful to create partitions bigger than the underlying
+ physical chips by allowing cross-chip boundaries.
