16 * Partition definition structure:
Thomas Gleixner61ecfa82005-11-07 11:15:31 +000017 *
Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -070018 * An array of struct partition is passed along with a MTD object to
19 * add_mtd_partitions() to create them.
20 *
21 * For each partition, these fields are available:
22 * name: string that will be used to label the partition's MTD device.
Thomas Gleixner61ecfa82005-11-07 11:15:31 +000023 * size: the partition size; if defined as MTDPART_SIZ_FULL, the partition
Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -070024 * will extend to the end of the master MTD device.
Thomas Gleixner61ecfa82005-11-07 11:15:31 +000025 * offset: absolute starting position within the master MTD device; if
26 * defined as MTDPART_OFS_APPEND, the partition will start where the
Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -070027 * previous one ended; if MTDPART_OFS_NXTBLK, at the next erase block.
Thomas Gleixner61ecfa82005-11-07 11:15:31 +000028 * mask_flags: contains flags that have to be masked (removed) from the
Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -070029 * master MTD flag set for the corresponding MTD partition.
Thomas Gleixner61ecfa82005-11-07 11:15:31 +000030 * For example, to force a read-only partition, simply adding
Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -070031 * MTD_WRITEABLE to the mask_flags will do the trick.
32 *
Thomas Gleixner61ecfa82005-11-07 11:15:31 +000033 * Note: writeable partitions require their size and offset be
Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -070034 * erasesize aligned (e.g. use MTDPART_OFS_NEXTBLK).
