I am playing with mtdconcat in MTD (Memory Technology Device).
For example:
mtdconcat must be called after initializing the lower device and
partitions. So, the order of calling functions must be decided
always.
Actuall, the functions in Linux kernel are called in a order. I want
to know how to specify these orders.
Sorry for short English. Thank you for your help.
