From b5b5f5dfa64519120369c5f5d26ba922c9fbcd4f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?Rafa=C5=82=20Mi=C5=82ecki?= Date: Fri, 27 Jul 2018 21:54:08 +0200 Subject: kernel: backport mtd support for subpartitions in DT MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit This is a new & warm feature that allows nesting partiitons in DT and mixing their types (e.g. static vs. dynamic). It's very useful for boards that have most partitions static but some of them require extra parsing (e.g. a "firmware" partition). It's required to successfully backport support for new devices using that new syntax in their DT files. Since brcm63xx has a custom alternative patch the upstream one is being reverted for it. The plan is to make brcm63xx use the upstream implementation.
