I understand this was not sent to proper addresses for review because it is a RFC. It's fine then. If this was not the intention and this should be reviewed (and tested, although I assume you tested these patches first), then please read the standard form bellow: <form letter> Please use scripts/get_maintainers.pl to get a list of necessary people and lists to CC. It might happen, that command when run on an older kernel, gives you outdated entries. Therefore please be sure you base your patches on recent Linux kernel. Tools like b4 or scripts/get_maintainer.pl provide you proper list of people, so fix your workflow. Tools might also fail if you work on some ancient tree (don't, instead use mainline) or work on fork of kernel (don't, instead use mainline). Just use b4 and everything should be fine, although remember about `b4 prep --auto-to-cc` if you added new patches to the patchset. You missed at least devicetree list (maybe more), so this won't be tested by automated tooling. Performing review on untested code might be a waste of time. Please kindly resend and include all necessary To/Cc entries. </form letter> Best regards, Krzysztof

This approach was suggested by Rob [1] during a discussion on Miquel's initial approach [2] to extend the MTD-CONCAT driver to support stacked memories. Define each flash node separately with its respective partitions, and add a 'concat-parts' binding to link the partitions of the two flash nodes that need to be concatenated. flash@0 { compatible = "jedec,spi-nor" ... partitions { compatible = "fixed-partitions"; concat-partition = <&flash0_partition &flash1_partition>; flash0_partition: partition@0 { label = "part0_0"; reg = <0x0 0x800000>; } } } flash@1 { compatible = "jedec,spi-nor" ... partitions { compatible = "fixed-partitions"; concat-partition = <&flash0_partition &flash1_partition>; flash1_partition: partition@0 { label = "part0_1"; reg = <0x0 0x800000>; } } } Based on the bindings the MTD-CONCAT driver need to be updated to create virtual mtd-concat devices.
