[patch/rfc 2.6.29 1/2] MTD: driver model updates
From: David Brownell
Date: Thu Mar 26 2009 - 03:52:45 EST
From: David Brownell <dbrownell@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Update driver model support in the MTD framework, so it fits
better into the current udev-based hotplug framework:
- Each mtd_info now has a device node. MTD drivers should set
the dev.parent field to point to the physical device, before
setting up partitions or otherwise declaring MTDs.
- Those device nodes always map to /sys/class/mtdX device nodes,
which no longer depend on MTD_CHARDEV.
- Those mtdX sysfs nodes have a "starter set" of attributes;
it's not yet sufficient to replace /proc/mtd.
- Enabling MTD_CHARDEV provides /sys/class/mtdXro/ nodes and the
/sys/class/mtd*/dev attributes (for udev, mdev, etc).
- Include a MODULE_ALIAS_CHARDEV_MAJOR macro. It'll work with
udev creating the /dev/mtd* nodes, not just a static rootfs.
So the sysfs structure is pretty much what you'd expect, except
that readonly chardev nodes are a bit quirky.

Sanity tested with NOR (physmap, omap_nor, m25p80), DataFlash,
NAND (davinci, omap), OneNand (omap); with and without mtdblock.
With converted MTD drivers, /sys/devices/virtual/mtd/* are gone.
Didn't test modular configs.
