mtparts & dts partition

Uboot: bootargs  mtdparts=4m(kernel:0),25856k(rootfs:0)设置分区

 

Uboot传给内核mtdparts分区表优先级高于在flash在设备树中的分区表

 

/**

 *mtd_device_parse_register - parse partitions and register an MTD device.

 *

 *@mtd: the MTD device to register

 *@types: the list of MTD partition probes to try, see

 *        'parse_mtd_partitions()' for more information

 *@parser_data: MTD partition parser-specific data

 *@parts: fallback partition information to register, if parsing fails;

 *        only valid if %nr_parts > %0

 *@nr_parts: the number of partitions in parts, if zero then the full

 *           MTD device is registered if no partition info is found

 *

 *This function aggregates MTD partitions parsing (done by

 *'parse_mtd_partitions()') and MTD device and partitions registering. It

 *basically follows the most common pattern found in many MTD drivers:

 *

 * *It first tries to probe partitions on MTD device @mtd using parsers

 *  specified in @types (if @types is %NULL, then the default list ofparsers

 *   isused, see 'parse_mtd_partitions()' for more information). If none are

 *  found this functions tries to fallback to information specified in

 *  @parts/@nr_parts.

 * *If any partitioning info was found, this function registers the found

 *  partitions.

 * *If no partitions were found this function just registers the MTD device

 *   @mtdand exits.

 *

 *Returns zero in case of success and a negative error code in case of failure.
