This patch implements memory accessor interface in the MTD
layer which enables the kernel to access flash data.
This patch adds two new members to the mtd_partition structure,
a function handler which will be called during setup of the
partition and an argument to be passed to this setup function.
Example:
+static struct mtd_partition spi_flash_partitions[] = {
+ [0] = {
+ .name = "U-Boot",
+ .offset = 0,
+ .size = SZ_256K,
+ .mask_flags = MTD_WRITEABLE,
+ },
+ [1] = {
+ .name = "U-Boot Environment",
+ .offset = MTDPART_OFS_NXTBLK,
+ .size = SZ_64K,
+ .mask_flags = MTD_WRITEABLE,
+ },
+ [2] = {
+ .name = "Linux",
+ .offset = MTDPART_OFS_NXTBLK,
+ .size = SZ_7M,
+ .mask_flags = 0,
+ },
+ [3] = {
+ .name = "MAC Address",
+ .offset = MTDPART_OFS_NXTBLK,
+ .size = SZ_64K,
+ .mask_flags = 0,
+ .setup = davinci_get_mac_addr,
+ .context = (void *)0,
+ },
+};
The davinci_get_mac_addr function reads the MAC address from
offset ZERO of last MTD partition.
