Subject: Re: [PATCH/RFC -nxt] mtd_blkdevs: Set GENHD_FL_NO_PART
Date: Fri, 3 Dec 2021 07:57:26 +0100	[thread overview]

I think we need the patch below to restore the old behavior where a
partitions scan happens only for those sub-drivers that do report a
partition shift.

MTD maintainers: is this intentional that raw mtdblock does not support
partitions, but the various "FTL" modules do?
