Subject: [PATCH] Documentation: ABI: mtd: describe "offset" more precisely
Date: Sun, 25 Jun 2017 13:11:54 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170625111154.14022-1-zajec5@gmail.com> (raw)
From: Rafał Miłecki <rafal@milecki.pl>
So far Linux supported only two levels of MTD devices so we didn't need
a very precise description for this sysfs file. With commit
97519dc52b44a ("mtd: partitions: add support for subpartitions") there
is support for a tree structure so we should have more precise
description. Using "parent" and "flash device" makes it more accurate.

Description:
For a partition, the offset of that partition from the start
- of the master device in bytes. This attribute is absent on

- partitions and devices that aren't partitions.
