Sometimes, an special partition is included in the device tree
including all the
partitions. Like in:
partit...@ff000000 {
reg = < 0x000000 0x800000 >;
label = "Root File System";
};
partit...@ff800000 {
reg = < 0x800000 0x1a0000 >;
label = "Bitstream";
};
...
f...@ff000000 {
compatible = "partition";
reg = < 0x000000 0x1000000 >;
label = "Full FLASH";
};
Your special "partition" isn't really a partition then, is it.
Because of that, device nodes to represent your partitions doesn't
work very well.
You really want to use something else, a partition table on the
flash itself for example. Or maybe the (platform? MTD?) code
should create a Linux device for the "full" device.
Because two nodes of a device tree cannot have the same name,
This isn't true.
but all the
partitions must be named "partition",
Bad binding, no cookie for you!
- if (strcmp(partname, "partition") != 0) {
+ if ((strcmp(partname, "partition") != 0) &&
+ (of_device_is_compatible(pp, "partition") != 1))
+ {
You cannot claim a name as generic as "partition" for this. Pick
something else if you really must do things this way.
