5 * Copyright © 2002 SYSGO Real-Time Solutions GmbH
6 * Copyright © 2002-2010 David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>
8 * The format for the command line is as follows:
10 * mtdparts=<mtddef>[;<mtddef]
11 * <mtddef> := <mtd-id>:<partdef>[,<partdef>]
12 * <partdef> := <size>[@<offset>][<name>][ro][lk]
13 * <mtd-id> := unique name used in mapping driver/device (mtd->name)
14 * <size> := standard linux memsize OR "-" to denote all remaining space
15 * size is automatically truncated at end of device
16 * if specified or truncated size is 0 the part is skipped
17 * <offset> := standard linux memsize
18 * if omitted the part will immediately follow the previous part
19 * or 0 if the first part
20 * <name> := '(' NAME ')'
21 * NAME will appear in /proc/mtd
23 * <size> and <offset> can be specified such that the parts are out of order
24 * in physical memory and may even overlap.
26 * The parts are assigned MTD numbers in the order they are specified in the
27 * command line regardless of their order in physical memory.
31 * 1 NOR Flash, with 1 single writable partition:
34 * 1 NOR Flash with 2 partitions, 1 NAND with one
