mtd: partitions: make parsers return 'const' partition arrays

2015-12-09T18:21:57Z

We only want to modify these arrays inside the parser "drivers", so the drivers should construct them however they like, then return them as immutable arrays. This will make other refactorings easier. Signed-off-by: Brian Norris Reviewed-by: Boris Brezillon

mtd: kill off MTD partition parser boilerplate

2015-11-20T02:46:29Z

Most parsers can be handled with our new boilerplate-reducing macro. There are a few that can't be (cmdlineparts and ofpart). Also kill off the owner assignments, since register_mtd_parser() now takes care of that. Signed-off-by: Brian Norris

mtd: make register_mtd_parser return void

2014-01-03T19:22:22Z

register_mtd_parser never fails; hence make it return void. Signed-off-by: Axel Lin Signed-off-by: Brian Norris

mtd: redboot: remove useless code

2012-03-26T23:24:14Z

We do not need to invoke 'mtd_can_have_bb()' before invoking 'mtd_block_isbad()' because the latter already handles the case when the MTD device does not support bad blocks. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse

mtd: introduce mtd_can_have_bb helper

2012-01-09T18:26:24Z

This patch introduces new 'mtd_can_have_bb()' helper function which checks whether the flash can have bad eraseblocks. Then it changes all the direct 'mtd->block_isbad' use cases with 'mtd_can_have_bb()'. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse

mtd: Add module.h to drivers users that were implicitly using it.

2011-10-31T23:31:12Z

We are cleaning up the implicit presence of module.h that these drivers are taking advantage of. Fix them in advance of the cleanup operation. Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker

mtd: provide an alias for the redboot module name

2011-10-16T11:56:33Z

parse_mtd_partitions takes a list of partition types; if the driver isn't loaded, it attempts to load it, and then it grabs the partition parser. For redboot, the module name is "redboot.ko", while the parser name is "RedBoot". Since modprobe is case-sensitive, attempting to modprobe "RedBoot" will never work. I suspect the embedded systems that make use of redboot just always manually loaded redboot prior to loading their specific nand chip drivers (or statically compiled it in).
