Some may use a fixed -flash layout set at production time. Some may use on-flash table that describes -the geometry and naming/purpose of each functional region. It is also possible -to see these methods mixed. - -To assist system software in locating partitions, we allow describing which -method is used for a given flash device. To describe the method there should be -a subnode of the flash device that is named 'partitions'.
