mtdpart.o

mtdpart.o

[Jonas Holmberg]

Why was mtdpart.o removed from obj-$(CONFIG_MTD) in kernel/Makefile?

< obj-$(CONFIG_MTD)		+= mtdcore.o mtdpart.o
---
> obj-$(CONFIG_MTD)		+= mtdcore.o

I've got a problem since it was removed: How can I include mtdpart.o in my kernel if I wan't to do a do_cfi_probe() and then add partitions with add_mtd_partitions()?

The way it's done ATM is to include with the map driver:

obj-$(CONFIG_MTD_SBC_MEDIAGX)   += sbc_mediagx.o mtdpart.o
obj-$(CONFIG_MTD_ELAN_104NC)    += elan-104nc.o mtdpart.o
obj-$(CONFIG_MTD_SA1100)        += sa1100-flash.o mtdpart.o

Which is not possible if you want to place the map driver in another
directory..

I'd rather do it in the config.in and have a separate CONFIG for the
partition support, but as we found out before, it's really boring to fix
that config.in for all the cases that need the mtdpart support
:) Something for Jonas!

Heh. Yeah, I agree - it'd be good to do it properly but it's boring :)

I _try_ to delegate stuff but don't actually pay anyone's wages so it's 
not very effective :)
