Merge tag 'for-linus-20150422' of git://git.infradead.org/linux-mtd
Pull MTD updates from Brian Norris:
"Common MTD:
- Add Kconfig option for keeping both the 'master' and 'partition'
MTDs registered as devices. This would really make a better
default if we could do it over, as it allows a lot more flexibility
in (1) determining the flash topology of the system from user-space
and (2) adding temporary partitions at runtime (ioctl(BLKPG)).
Unfortunately, this would possibly cause user-space breakage, as it
will cause renumbering of the /dev/mtdX devices. We'll see if we
can change this in the future, as there have already been a few
people looking for this feature, and I know others have just been
working around our current limitations instead of fixing them this
way.
- Along with the previous change, add some additional information to
sysfs, so user-space can read the offset of each partition within
its master device
SPI NOR:
- add new device tree compatible binding to represent the
mostly-compatible class of SPI NOR flash which can be detected by
their extended JEDEC ID bytes, cutting down the duplication of our
ID tables
- misc. new IDs
Various other miscellaneous fixes and changes"
