As noted here [1], there are potentially future conflicts if we try to
use MTD's "partitions" subnode to describe anything besides just the
fixed-in-the-device-tree partitions currently described in this
document. Particularly, there was a proposal to use this node for the
AFS parser too.
It can pose a (small) problem to try to differentiate the following
nodes:
// using binding as currently specified
partitions {
#address-cells = <x>;
#size-cells = <y>;
partition@0 {
...;
};
};
and
// proposed future binding
partitions {
compatible = "arm,arm-flash-structure";
};
It's especially difficult if other uses of this node start having
subnodes.
So, since the "partitions" node is new in v4.4, let's fixup the binding
before release so that it requires a compatible property, so it's much
clearer to distinguish. e.g.:
// proposed
partitions {
compatible = "fixed-partitions";
#address-cells = <x>;
#size-cells = <y>;
partition@0 {
...;
};
};

The ofpart partition parser might be run on DT-enabled systems that
don't have any "ofpart" partition subnodes at all, since "ofpart" is in
the default parser list. So don't complain loudly on every boot.
Example: using m25p80.c with no intent to use ofpart:
&spi2 {
status = "okay";
flash@0 {
compatible = "jedec,spi-nor";
reg = <0>;
};
};
I see this warning:
[ 0.588471] m25p80 spi2.0: gd25q32 (4096 Kbytes)
[ 0.593091] spi2.0: 'partitions' subnode not found on /spi@ff130000/flash@0. Trying to parse direct subnodes as partitions.

Parsing direct subnodes of a mtd device as partitions is unreliable
since the mtd device is also part of its bus subsystem and can contain
bus data in subnodes.
Move ofpart data to a subnode of its own so it is clear which data is
part of the partition layout.

In case that the nand device will support some features like Nand Flash
Controller, we want to make the sub feature as a sub node of nand device.
Use such organization it is easy to enable/disable feature, also it is back
compatible and more readable.
If the sub-node has a compatible property then it is a driver not partition.

Prepare to convert of_mtd_parse_partitions() to usual partitions parser:
1) Register ofpart parser
2) Internally don't use passed device for error printing
3) Add device_node to mtd_part_parser_data struct
4) Move of_mtd_parse_partitions from __devinit to common text section
5) add ofpart to the default list of partition parsers

percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.
http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
The script does the followings.
* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
doesn't seem to be any matching order.
* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
file.
The conversion was done in the following steps.
1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
files.
2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
inclusions to around 150 files.
3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
necessary.
6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
* x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
* powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
* sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
* ia64 SMP allmodconfig
* s390 SMP allmodconfig
* alpha SMP allmodconfig
* um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

SLOF has a further node which could not be evaluated
by the current routine. The current routine returns
because the node hasn't the required reg property. As
fix this patch adds a check to determine the partition
child nodes. If the node is not a partition the number
of total partitions will be decreased and loop continues
with the next nodes.
