Subject: PATCH - add cmdline partition support to cafe (eg mtdparts= boot command)
Date: Wed, 1 Oct 2008 14:00:51 -0700 (PDT)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <148191.46055.qm@web58908.mail.re1.yahoo.com> (raw)

Folks,

Could we please incorporate this info the main line linux code.  Adds command line mtdparts= support for cafe_nand flash.

NOTE:  I changed where add_mtd_device was done so that there is NOT a complete flash mount point following by the partitions that were added.  Before this n+1 partitions were added.  1 partition for the complete flash and then n partitions.

Philip
