1	Representing flash partitions in devicetree
2	
3	Partitions can be represented by sub-nodes of an mtd device. This can be used
4	on platforms which have strong conventions about which portions of a flash are
5	used for what purposes, but which don't use an on-flash partition table such
6	as RedBoot.
7	
8	#address-cells & #size-cells must both be present in the mtd device and be
9	equal to 1.
10	
11	Required properties:
12	- reg : The partition's offset and size within the mtd bank.
13	
14	Optional properties:
15	- label : The label / name for this partition.  If omitted, the label is taken
16	  from the node name (excluding the unit address).
17	- read-only : This parameter, if present, is a hint to Linux that this
18	  partition should only be mounted read-only. This is usually used for flash
19	  partitions containing early-boot firmware images or data which should not be
20	  clobbered.
21	
22	Examples:
23	
24	
25	flash@0 {
26		#address-cells = <1>;
27		#size-cells = <1>;
28	
29		partition@0 {
30			label = "u-boot";
31			reg = <0x0000000 0x100000>;
32			read-only;
33		};
34	
35		uimage@100000 {
36			reg = <0x0100000 0x200000>;
37		};
38	};
