Here is the big set of char and misc driver patches for 4.21-rc1. Lots of different types of driver things in here, as this tree seems to be the "collection of various driver subsystems not big enough to have their own git tree" lately. Anyway, some highlights of the changes in here: - binderfs: is it a rule that all driver subsystems will eventually grow to have their own filesystem? Binder now has one to handle the use of it in containerized systems. This was discussed at the Plumbers conference a few months ago and knocked into mergable shape very fast by Christian Brauner. Who also has signed up to be another binder maintainer, showing a distinct lack of good judgement :) - binder updates and fixes - mei driver updates - fpga driver updates and additions - thunderbolt driver updates - soundwire driver updates - extcon driver updates - nvmem driver updates - hyper-v driver updates - coresight driver updates - pvpanic driver additions and reworking for more device support - lp driver updates. Yes really, it's _finally_ moved to the proper parallal port driver model, something I never thought I would see happen. Good stuff. - other tiny driver updates and fixes. All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported issues.

Memory Technology Devices are flash, RAM and similar chips, often
|
|
used for solid state file systems on embedded devices. This option
|
|
will provide the generic support for MTD drivers to register
|
|
themselves with the kernel and for potential users of MTD devices
|
|
to enumerate the devices which are present and obtain a handle on
|
|
them. It will also allow you to select individual drivers for
|
|
particular hardware and users of MTD devices. If unsure, say N.

This option includes various MTD tests into compilation. The tests

|
should normally be compiled as kernel modules. The modules perform
|
|
various checks and verifications when loaded.

test. Do not use these tests unless you really know what you do.

help
|
|
Allow generic configuration of the MTD partition tables via the kernel
|
|
command line. Multiple flash resources are supported for hardware where
|
|
different kinds of flash memory are available.
|
|
|
|
You will still need the parsing functions to be called by the driver
|
|
for your particular device. It won't happen automatically. The
|
|
SA1100 map driver (CONFIG_MTD_SA1100) has an option for this, for
|
|
example.
|
|
|
|
The format for the command line is as follows:
|
|
|
|
mtdparts=<mtddef>[;<mtddef]
|
|
<mtddef> := <mtd-id>:<partdef>[,<partdef>]
|
|
<partdef> := <size>[@offset][<name>][ro]
|
|
<mtd-id> := unique id used in mapping driver/device
|
|
<size> := standard linux memsize OR "-" to denote all
|
|
remaining space
|
|
<name> := (NAME)
|
|
|
|
Due to the way Linux handles the command line, no spaces are
|
|
allowed in the partition definition, including mtd id's and partition
|
|
names.
|
|
|
|
Examples:
|
|
|
|
1 flash resource (mtd-id "sa1100"), with 1 single writable partition:
|
|
mtdparts=sa1100:-
|
|
|
|
Same flash, but 2 named partitions, the first one being read-only:
|
|
mtdparts=sa1100:256k(ARMboot)ro,-(root)
|
|
|
|
If unsure, say 'N'.

The ARM Firmware Suite allows the user to divide flash devices into

|
|
Although most flash chips have an erase size too large to be useful
|
|
as block devices, it is possible to use MTD devices which are based
|
|
on RAM chips in this manner. This block device is a user of MTD
|
|
devices performing that function.
|
|
|
|
At the moment, it is also required for the Journalling Flash File
|
|
System(s) to obtain a handle on the MTD device when it's mounted
|
|
(although JFFS and JFFS2 don't actually use any of the functionality
|
|
of the mtdblock device).
|
|
|
|
Later, it may be extended to perform read/erase/modify/write cycles
|
|
on flash chips to emulate a smaller block size. Needless to say,
|
|
this is very unsafe, but could be useful for file systems which are
|
|
almost never written to.

You do not need this option for use with the DiskOnChip devices. For

those, enable NFTL support (CONFIG_NFTL) instead.

several partitions are present, but not both. The concern was that

data listed in multiple partitions was dangerous; however, SCSI does

this and it is frequently useful for applications. This config option

leaves the master in even if the device is partitioned. It also makes

the parent of the partition device be the master device, rather than

what lies behind the master.
