From: Colin Cross <ccross@xxxxxxxxxxx> It is quite common for Android devices to utilize more then 8 partitions on internal eMMC storage. This patch, which has been carried for quite awhile in the AOSP common tree is necessary in order to support such configurations, so I wanted to submit it for consideration upstream. This patch sets the GENHD_FL_EXT_DEVT flag, which will allocate minor number in major 259 for partitions past disk->minors. It also removes the use of disk_devt to determine devidx from md->disk. md->disk->first_minor is always initialized from devidx and can always be used to recover it. Thoughts or feedback would be greatly appreciated.
