+RedBoot FLASH Image System (FIS) Partitions
+===========================================
+
+The FLASH Image System (FIS) directory is a flash description
+format closely associated with the RedBoot boot loader.
+
+It uses one single flash eraseblock in the flash to store an index of
+all images in the flash.
+
+This block size will vary depending on flash but is typically
+32 KB in size.
+
+Required properties:
+- compatible : (required) must be "redboot-fis"
+- fis-index-block : (required) a index to the eraseblock containing
+  the FIS directory on this device. On a flash memory with 32KB
+  eraseblocks, 0 means the first eraseblock at 0x00000000, 1 means the
+  second eraseblock at 0x00008000 and so on.
+
+Example:
+
+flash@0 {
+	partitions {
+		compatible = "redboot-fis";
+		fis-index-block = <0>;
+	};
+};

Hi,

now just to forestall possible predictable bikeshedding on the devicetree

This expansion of the acronym including using capital letters in
FLASH comes from the eCOS source code for RedBoot:

> +- compatible : (required) must be "redboot-fis"

There is no vendor here because the source code was owned by
Cygnus Solutions, Redhat and now Free Software Foundation.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ECos

We have no (AFAICT) policy for whether stuff that just change vendor
all the time should be named after the inventing (first) company "cygnus,*",
current owner "fsf,*" or the one that made most changes to the source
code "redhat,*". I do not think we should care, and just name it
"redboot-fis" for it's historical value and widespread acceptance so this
is a conscious naming scheme.

If one of the OF maintainers says they want it a certain way I will change
it without discussion, I just want this supported.

If you send a new version, don't forget to update the subject prefix
("dt-bindings: mtd: ...") :-).

It's all fine for me.

I was only going to comment is Redboot still a thing? :)

Thanks.

Yep. What I've learned recently is that some of the stuff we
support has way longer lifecycles than we expected. There are
brand new devices shipping using the RedBoot partition table
as we speak. It seems to be coming from places like Taiwan.

[PATCH 3/3] mtd: partitions: Add OF support to RedBoot partitions

[Linus Walleij]

This adds device tree support for RedBoot partitioning. We
read out the FIS directory block information from the device
tree and then parse the partition table from there.

You might want to have this match table definition enclosed in a #ifdef
CONFIG_OF section...

... and use of_match_ptr(mtd_parser_redboot_of_match_table) here.

I'm proposing that to make it consistent with the
approach you've taken for the parse_redboot_of() function.

Alternatively, you could just drop the #ifdef CONFIG_OF section around
parse_redboot_of() (there's already a dummy of_property_read_u32()
func returning -ENOSYS when CONFIG_OF is not set, so it should work
just fine).
