Subject: [PATCH] mtd: document linux-specific partition parser DT binding
Date: Thu, 15 Oct 2015 15:19:51 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1444915191-28350-1-git-send-email-linus.walleij@linaro.org> (raw)

The Linux code in drivers/mtd/maps/physmap_of.c will optionally
look for this binding for hints on a partition type to look for
in the MTD. It was added in commit 9d5da3a9b849
"mtd: extend physmap_of to let the device tree specify the parition probe"
but no corresponding device tree binding was added. Fix this.
