Sorry to mail this again.. I corrected the diff output
in my previous mail

Why doesn't "struct mtd_info" expose partition offset
info so it can be displayed via /proc/mtd?
 
Mak had asked this qn earlier 
http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-mtd/2004-July/010062.html
 
perhaps his message was not clear... I think he was
asking why /proc/mtd does not display info on
partition offset for each mtd partition.
 
I made a small fix to struct mtd_info, mtdcore.c,
mtdpart.c that adds a new element "offset" to struct
mtd_info...exposing partion offset info from "struct
mtd_part" in mtdpart.c
 
I feel a better solution would be to move the "offset"
element in struct mtd_part into 
struct mtd_info and change all occurances of
"mtd_part->offset" to 
"mtdpart->mtd->offset"
 
Here's the patch I made... 
Please let me know if you have any
comments/suggestions on the patch...or my
suggestion above to move the "offset" element from
mtd_part to mtd_info...
