Re: [PATCH v3 1/3] mtd: block2mtd: Ensure that block2mtd is triggered after block devices are presented.
You asked for review again... I guess I forgot about this patch series
for some time. I think this patch is OK, except for a trivial comment
below. But I have some comments on the next few.

That's some interesting comment indentation.

This technically could have problems if you want to use block2mtd with
UBI, now, since it also uses late_initcall(), and it can add UBI
attachments via module parameters too (ubi.mtd=).
I'm not too worried about this, though, since block2mtd is really not
meant for serious use (despite your usage here).

Pushed this patch to l2-mtd.git, with comment fixups.

[PATCH v3 1/3] mtd: block2mtd: Ensure that block2mtd is triggered after block devices are presented.
From: Felix Fietkau
mtd: block2mtd: Ensure that block2mtd is triggered after block devices are
presented.
Ensures that block2mtd is triggered after the block devices are enumerated
at boot time.
This issue is seen on BCM2835 (Raspberry Pi) systems when mounting JFFS2
block2mtd filesystems, probably because of the delay on enumerating a USB
MMC card reader.
