freifunkist-firmware/target/linux/generic/pending-4.14/161-mtd-part-add-generic-parsing-of-linux-part-probe.patch

From: Hauke Mehrtens <hauke@hauke-m.de>
Subject: mtd: part: add generic parsing of linux,part-probe

This moves the linux,part-probe device tree parsing code from
physmap_of.c to mtdpart.c. Now all drivers can use this feature by just
providing a reference to their device tree node in struct
mtd_part_parser_data.

THIS METHOD HAS BEEN DEPRECATED

Linux supports "compatible" property in the "partitions" subnode now. It
should be used to specify partitions format (and trigger proper parser
usage) if needed.

 The ECC strength and ECC step size properties define the correction capability
 of a controller. Together, they say a controller can correct "{strength} bit
 errors per {size} bytes".
