From be0dbff8b46d69bd738f63b4fe0cf64417f776b0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Brian Norris Date: Mon, 1 Jun 2015 16:17:20 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] mtd: warn when registering the same master many times When CONFIG_MTD_PARTITIONED_MASTER=y, it is fatal to call mtd_device_parse_register() twice on the same MTD, as we try to register the same device/kobject multipile times. When CONFIG_MTD_PARTITIONED_MASTER=n, calling mtd_device_parse_register() is more of just a nuisance, as we can mostly navigate around any conflicting actions. But anyway, doing so is a Bad Thing (TM), and we should complain loudly for any drivers that try to do this.
