16 * Partition definition structure:
18 * An array of struct partition is passed along with a MTD object to
19 * add_mtd_partitions() to create them.
21 * For each partition, these fields are available:
22 * name: string that will be used to label the partition's MTD device.
23 * size: the partition size; if defined as MTDPART_SIZ_FULL, the partition
24 * will extend to the end of the master MTD device.
25 * offset: absolute starting position within the master MTD device; if
26 * defined as MTDPART_OFS_APPEND, the partition will start where the
27 * previous one ended; if MTDPART_OFS_NXTBLK, at the next erase block.
28 * mask_flags: contains flags that have to be masked (removed) from the
29 * master MTD flag set for the corresponding MTD partition.
30 * For example, to force a read-only partition, simply adding
31 * MTD_WRITEABLE to the mask_flags will do the trick.
33 * Note: writeable partitions require their size and offset be
34 * erasesize aligned (e.g. use MTDPART_OFS_NEXTBLK).
