16  * Partition definition structure:
17  *
18  * An array of struct partition is passed along with a MTD object to
19  * mtd_device_register() to create them.
20  *
21  * For each partition, these fields are available:
22  * name: string that will be used to label the partition's MTD device.
23  * size: the partition size; if defined as MTDPART_SIZ_FULL, the partition
24  * 	will extend to the end of the master MTD device.
25  * offset: absolute starting position within the master MTD device; if
26  * 	defined as MTDPART_OFS_APPEND, the partition will start where the
27  *	previous one ended; if MTDPART_OFS_NXTBLK, at the next erase block;
28  *	if MTDPART_OFS_RETAIN, consume as much as possible, leaving size
29  *	after the end of partition.
30  * mask_flags: contains flags that have to be masked (removed) from the
31  * 	master MTD flag set for the corresponding MTD partition.
32  * 	For example, to force a read-only partition, simply adding
33  * 	MTD_WRITEABLE to the mask_flags will do the trick.
34  *
35  * Note: writeable partitions require their size and offset be
36  * erasesize aligned (e.g. use MTDPART_OFS_NEXTBLK).
