Having to specify on command line is such a nasty hack. I wish we could remove that, and at the very least not add it for anything new. You end up with user space tools trying to parse the kernel command line to figure out what's on the flash, and other really bad habits. :( I'd strongly advice you to keep this in the board files, unless you have an actual real motivation for changing it. This patch does not provide one. -Olof
