[PATCH 1/4] ARM: pxa/corgi: Remove hardcoded partitioning, use sharpslpart parser

[Andrea Adami]

With the introduction of sharpslpart partition parser we can now read the
offsets from NAND: we specify the list of the parsers as platform data, with
cmdlinepart and ofpart parsers first allowing to override the part. table
written in NAND. This is done here in the board file.

Emulators like qemu will need to pass the mtdparts in the cmdline.

IOW this will be regression for people emulating zaurus in qemu.

...

Is it good idea? Its not like this platform data is particulary big or
changes very often...

Hello Pavel,

afais defining the partitions in the board file is today deprecated,
more than this the definitions are not totally correct,
e.g. ignoring the differences between 3100 and 3200 models.

The original Zaurus kernels did specify mtdparts= in the cmdline so I
don't see this being a big limitation for QEMU.

We are trying to clean out the board files and hopefully move the pxa
Zaurus to devicetree one day...
I think that removing the parttioning differences will ease the task.
Please correct me if I am wrong.

Cheers
Andrea

I'll apply the serie to pxa/for-next.

Well, I believe it is bad idea, but whatever. I still have zaurus, but
don't use it any more.
