Nice to see another user of the smem code :)

This makes me wonder if there will ever be an apps partition. I would
have picked QCOM_SMEM_HOST_ANY, but I don't know what future platforms
might hold for us.


And as a side note, I think I will propose that we rename that define
QCOM_SMEM_GLOBAL.

Instead of passing pointers around I think you should just make this
function return < 0 for errors and >= 0 for the requested data. You can
probably still have it as an int, as the current values are well below
the size of the int.

Same as above.

If you don't care about the size just pass NULL as the last argument.

I think it would be cleaner if you had this function check the magic and
version and then return the partition pointer. That is:

static smem_partition *qcom_smem_get_flash_partitions(size_t *count)


And make *count = le32_to_cpu(table->len); so you don't have to care
about that below.

(And use NULL or ERR_PTR for the error paths)

I guess this is the result of below checks, but it's not describing
what's actually done here. I think it should say "only parse
partitions on the specified memory type" or something like that.

Well, this is not only for sanity purpose, as you multiply all sizes
with this number below...

This might have the wrong endian...

I think Stephens suggestion was that you assign *pparts before looping
and then you simply do:

*pparts = mtd_parts;

while (len--) {
	..

	s_part++;
	mtd_parts++;
}

I tried to follow the mtd code, and I believe that this pointer might
be freed in free_partition(). If so you must kstrdup it here.

Again, this might be in the wrong endian.

Mostly unrelated to this patch; This makes me appreciate the
module_platform_driver() macro, would be nice to see a patch that
introduces something similar for partition parsers.

Are you sure you don't mean "GPL v2" here?
