Rafał Miłecki 1a0915be19 mtd: partitions: add support for partition parsers ... Some devices have partitions that are kind of containers with extra subpartitions / volumes instead of e.g. a simple filesystem data. To support such cases we need to first create normal flash device partitions and then take care of these special ones. It's very common case for home routers. Depending on the vendor there are formats like TRX, Seama, TP-Link, WRGG & more. All of them are used to embed few partitions into a single one / single firmware file. Ideally all vendors would use some well documented / standardized format like UBI (and some probably start doing so), but there are still countless devices on the market using these poor vendor specific formats. This patch extends MTD subsystem by allowing to specify list of parsers that should be tried for a given partition. Supporting such poor formats is highly unlikely to be the top priority so these changes try to minimize maintenance cost to the minimum. It reuses existing code for these new parsers and just adds a one property and one new function. This implementation requires setting partition parsers in a flash parser. A proper change of bcm47xxpart will follow and in the future we will hopefully also find a solution for doing it with ofpart ("fixed-partitions").
