Subject: [PATCH V3 5/5] mtd: Move fdt partition documentation to a seperate file
Date: Tue, 27 Mar 2012 22:54:15 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1332885255-8304-6-git-send-email-jm@lentin.co.uk> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1332885255-8304-1-git-send-email-jm@lentin.co.uk>

Partitions are described in the same way for all mtd devices when using
devicetree, move the documentation to a separate file and add references
to it.

+Required properties:
