I want to use the MTD command line partition method on block devices (eMMC).
It is very suitable for embedded systems. I think, in embedded system partition

if somebody need some feature on MTD device, he may be also need it on block
device.
so I fully functional reference MTD command line partition.
I agree.
I'm curious: have you seen any need for a similar arrangement via
device-tree? See, for example, drivers/mtd/ofpart.c.
So far, I have no seen. We mainly use ARM. For ARM, device-tree is a new thing.
But device-tree is *the* thing for ARM going forward, and the kernel
command line can get unwieldy (and beyond its limits) pretty quickly
like this.
I hope extend the flexibility to block device.
Sure. I'll try to review the full patch soon and test out integrating
it with MTD.
If there is no problem, I will send my next patch, mtd cmdline parts use
cmdline-parser lib.
We will get some reviews on this soon (no time for me tonight). Do you
already have a mtd patch? If so, you might as well post it for review as
well.
Thanks,
Brian
