Subject: Re: [PATCH v3 1/9] mtd: sharpslpart: add sharpslpart MTD partition parser
Brian,
thanks for the review and for the unvaluable advices.
I have almost fixed the problems you spotted and I am almost ready to
send the new v4 of the patchset.
Some doubts are still present: I'll comment under your remarks:

I think it makes sense to merge back together.
It was earlier split to better expose the read-only FTL.

I am sorry I don't know much about error correction.
No info, no comments in the 2.4 sources.
My tests did indeed show that only the first condition is matched
(good0=8 good1=9) so I'll retry and then I'll simplify the code..

Done.
it is the same with the simplified code we are using.
If you look in the 2.4 sources there was a further check to verify the usage [1]

Well, right, my bad.
The original code [2] did kmalloc() + memset so checkpatch suggested
to use kcalloc().
But the simplified code we are using does not need it (we ignore 'usage').
I'll change back to kmalloc() and initialize to UINT_MAX.

Fixed both.
The cast is another remnant of the (many) checks done in the old sources.

Yes, it seems poor-man's solution but is indeed in the 2.4 sources.

The bootloader loads and launches the zImage1 found at a specific
logical address.
If mtd1 were invalid there would be no boot.
See, 10yrs ago there was an unofficial u-boot port for experienced users.
That was requiring to full-erase the nand, so removing the maintenance
and diag code
This would be the only case of modified partition layout I can think of.

I expect -EINVAL in that case.
BUT if one would be usingh u-boot then he'd have partitions in
u-boot.env or in cmdline.
