Subject: mtd partition handling updates

Message-ID: <1423731274-9860-1-git-send-email-s.hauer@pengutronix.de> (raw)

This series updates the mtd partition handling in barebox. It used
to be too simple to create conflicting or inconsistent partitions on
mtd devices. mtd partitions can be changed from board code, from the
device tree, using addpart/delpart and with this series also with
the newly created 'partitions' parameter for mtd devices. The
informations are now kept in a consistent state, with each changed
partition the partitions parameter is updated and when starting
the kernel partitions in the device tree are also updated to the
current partitioning.
What's still missing is a way to store the partitioning somewhere
in the environment, perhaps in a nonvolatile variable.
