[PATCH v4 4/4] mtd: Add driver for concatenating devices

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Bernhard Frauendienst <kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Some MTD drivers like physmap variants have support for concatenating
multiple MTD devices, but there is no generic way to define such a
concatenated device from within the device tree.

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.

Add a driver for creating virtual mtd-concat devices. They must have
the "mtd-concat" compatible, and define a list of 'devices' to
concatenate, ie:

        flash {
                compatible = "mtd-concat";
                devices = <&flash0 &flash1>;

                partitions {
                        ...
                };
        };

Reword commit message a bit.
Use the word 'virtual' instead of 'composite'.
Do not probe the virtual device last: SPI is after MTD anyway.
Change the driver's location.
Update the driver logic and coding style.]
