[PATCH 4/4] flash_info: display MEMGETINFO and MEMISLOCKED

[Mike Frysinger]

I found the existing flash_info output to be a little lacking, so
add decoders for MEMGETINFO and MEMISLOCKED.

Pushed patches 1-3.

WRT this patch - I think the sector map should be a separate option,
because it outputs too much for a default option.

MEMISLOCKED is quite new ioctl, so you should check for ENOTTY. E.g.,
with my stock Fedora 14 + nandsim I see all sectors as RO, which is
obviously not true.

Otherwise the patch looks very good.

Hmm, actually, for this utility it is probably ok this way.

i'm adding regioninfo(-r)/sectormap(-s) as options to mtdinfo so users
get the extended info only when they ask for it

Region info is probably not worth a separate option - I do not believe
there are flashes with more than 2-3 of them.

How about killing this utility completely and use mtdinfo from ubi-utils
instead? Yes, before creating mtdinfo I should have noticed flash_info,
but I did not. Did you look at mtdinfo?

didnt even notice it :P

if mtdinfo provides all the details that my new flash_info does, then
i dont care about punting it.  be nice to merge my fixes before
deleting it though, otherwise i feel like i wasted quite a bit of time
for nothing ;).

I think it provides everything except of region information, which
flash_info provides :)
