Subject: [PATCH v2 0/3] mtd concat device driver
Date: Fri, 7 Sep 2018 19:35:12 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180907173515.19990-1-kernel@nospam.obeliks.de> (raw)
Hi everybody,
when porting my router board from a mach-file based OpenWRT target to a
device-tree based target, I found that there is no generic way to create
a mtd_concat device from within the dts. The following patches attempt
to provide that possibility.
This is a second roll of that patch series, the first one can be seen at
[1]. Apologies for not including the correct recipients in the first
roll.
In this first discussion, concerns were raised that a driver for a
"virtual" device like this might have no place in the device tree
system. However, I would argue that this very similar to specifying the
partitions of a mtd device, which can also done in the device tree. In
fact, I believe this is the only way to be able to specify the
partitions of such a concat device in the dts file (but I'm happy to be
corrected if I'm mistaken).
I have made the example in the dt-binding documentation a little bit
more expressive in this detail.
In this second roll I have also addressed all issues that reviewers have
brought up so far, hopefully to their satisfaction.
Best Regards
Bernhard
