Subject: [PATCH v3 4/5] mtd_blkdevs: add option to enable scanning for partitions

Message-ID: <Yn1ibyUeXZttNX2a@makrotopia.org> (raw)
Add Kconfig boolean CONFIG_MTD_BLOCK_PARTITIONS and enable block
partition parsers on non-NAND mtdblock devices in case it is selected.

You do not need this option for use with the DiskOnChip devices. For
those, enable NFTL support (CONFIG_NFTL) instead.

+ Scan MTD block devices for partitions (ie. MBR, GPT, uImage.FIT, ...).
