This is a new & warm feature that allows nesting partiitons in DT and mixing their types (e.g. static vs. dynamic). It's very useful for boards that have most partitions static but some of them require extra parsing (e.g. a "firmware" partition). It's required to successfully backport support for new devices using that new syntax in their DT files. Since brcm63xx has a custom alternative patch the upstream one is being reverted for it. The plan is to make brcm63xx use the upstream implementation. Signed-off-by: Rafał Miłecki <rafal@milecki.pl>

Subject: [PATCH] mtd: partitions: use DT info for parsing partitions with
|
|
"compatible" prop

So far only flash devices could be described in DT regarding partitions
|
|
parsing. That could be done with "partitions" subnode and a proper
|
|
"compatible" string.
|
|
|
|
Some devices may use hierarchical (multi-level) layouts and may mix used
|
|
layouts (fixed and dynamic). Describing that in DT is done by specifying
|
|
"compatible" for DT-represented partition plus optionally more
|
|
properties and/or subnodes.
|
|
|
|
To support such layouts each DT partition has to be checked for
|
|
additional description.
|
|
|
|
Please note this implementation will work in parallel with support for
|
|
partition type specified for non-DT setups. That already works since
|
|
commit 1a0915be1926 ("mtd: partitions: add support for partition
|
|
parsers").
