[RFC PATCH 3/6] block: add new genhd flag GENHD_FL_NO_NVMEM

From: Daniel Golle
Date: Wed Jul 19 2023 - 18:03:49 EST


Add new flag to destinguish block devices which should not act as an
NVMEM provider, such as for example an emulated block device on top of
an MTD partition which already acts as an NVMEM provider itself.
