Subject: mtd: add a flags for partitions which should just leave smth. after them
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=1a31368bf92ef2a7da3ba379672c405bd2751df9;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

mtd: add a flags for partitions which should just leave smth. after them

Add support for MTDPART_OFS_RETAIN: such partitions start at the current
offset, take as much space as possible, but rain part->size bytes after
the end of the partitions for other parts. Primarily this is intended
for ts72xx arm platforms cleanup.

Artem: tweaked the patch a bit
