2 * Read flash partition table from command line
4 * Copyright 2002 SYSGO Real-Time Solutions GmbH
6 * The format for the command line is as follows:
8 * mtdparts=<mtddef>[;<mtddef]
9 * <mtddef> := <mtd-id>:<partdef>[,<partdef>]
10 * <partdef> := <size>[@offset][<name>][ro][lk]
11 * <mtd-id> := unique name used in mapping driver/device (mtd->name)
12 * <size> := standard linux memsize OR "-" to denote all remaining space
13 * <name> := '(' NAME ')'
17 * 1 NOR Flash, with 1 single writable partition:
20 * 1 NOR Flash with 2 partitions, 1 NAND with one
