This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled mtd: bcm47xxpart: limit scanned flash area on BCM47XX (MIPS) only to the 3.18-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: mtd-bcm47xxpart-limit-scanned-flash-area-on-bcm47xx-mips-only.patch and it can be found in the queue-3.18 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From 2a36a5c30eab9cd1c9d2d08bd27cd763325d70c5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?Rafa=C5=82=20Mi=C5=82ecki?= <zajec5@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Sat, 5 Dec 2015 02:09:43 +0100 Subject: mtd: bcm47xxpart: limit scanned flash area on BCM47XX (MIPS) only MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit From: Rafał Miłecki <zajec5@xxxxxxxxx> commit 2a36a5c30eab9cd1c9d2d08bd27cd763325d70c5 upstream. We allowed using bcm47xxpart on BCM5301X arch with commit: 9e3afa5f5c7 ("mtd: bcm47xxpart: allow enabling on ARCH_BCM_5301X") BCM5301X devices may contain some partitions in higher memory, e.g. Netgear R8000 has board_data at 0x2600000. To detect them we should use size limit on MIPS only.
