This means cmdlinepart sees a NULL name and therefore will not work properly. Fix this by moving the default name and owner assignment to be first in the MTD registration process. Fixes: 807f16d4db95 ("mtd: core: set some defaults when dev.parent is set") Reported-by: Heiko Schocher Signed-off-by: Brian Norris Cc: Heiko Schocher Cc: Frans Klaver --- Heiko, can you provide testing feedback (e.g., 'Tested-by: ...')? In testing this myself, it looks like cmdlinepart.c can actually work OK with a single-MTD system, even when mtd->name isn't set. See this snippet: /* * Search for the partition definition matching master->name. * If master->name is not set, stop at first partition definition. */ for (part = partitions; part; part = part->next) { if ((!mtd_id) || (!strcmp(part->mtd_id, mtd_id))) break; } But, I don't know *why* it does that... drivers/mtd/mtdcore.c | 26 +++++++++++++++++--------- 1 file changed, 17 insertions(+), 9 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/mtd/mtdcore.c b/drivers/mtd/mtdcore.c index 95c13b2ffa79..ffa288474820 100644 --- a/drivers/mtd/mtdcore.c +++ b/drivers/mtd/mtdcore.c @@ -426,15 +426,6 @@ int add_mtd_device(struct mtd_info *mtd) mtd->erasesize_mask = (1 << mtd->erasesize_shift) - 1; mtd->writesize_mask = (1 << mtd->writesize_shift) - 1; - if (mtd->dev.parent) { - if (!mtd->owner && mtd->dev.parent->driver) - mtd->owner = mtd->dev.parent->driver->owner; - if (!mtd->name) - mtd->name = dev_name(mtd->dev.parent); - } else { - pr_debug("mtd device won't show a device symlink in sysfs\n"); - } - /* Some chips always power up locked.
