From 1a31368bf92ef2a7da3ba379672c405bd2751df9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dmitry Eremin-Solenikov Date: Mon, 6 Jun 2011 18:04:14 +0400 Subject: mtd: add a flags for partitions which should just leave smth. after them Add support for MTDPART_OFS_RETAIN: such partitions start at the current offset, take as much space as possible, but rain part->size bytes after the end of the partitions for other parts. Primarily this is intended for ts72xx arm platforms cleanup.
