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