  16 * Partition definition structure:
  17 *
  18 * An array of struct partition is passed along with a MTD object to
  19 * mtd_device_register() to create them.
  20 *
  21 * For each partition, these fields are available:
  22 * name: string that will be used to label the partition's MTD device.
  23 * size: the partition size; if defined as MTDPART_SIZ_FULL, the partition
  24 *      will extend to the end of the master MTD device.
  25 * offset: absolute starting position within the master MTD device; if
  26 *      defined as MTDPART_OFS_APPEND, the partition will start where the
  27 *      previous one ended; if MTDPART_OFS_NXTBLK, at the next erase block;
  28 *      if MTDPART_OFS_RETAIN, consume as much as possible, leaving size
  29 *      after the end of partition.
  30 * mask_flags: contains flags that have to be masked (removed) from the
  31 *      master MTD flag set for the corresponding MTD partition.
  32 *      For example, to force a read-only partition, simply adding
  33 *      MTD_WRITEABLE to the mask_flags will do the trick.
  34 *
  35 * Note: writeable partitions require their size and offset be
  36 * erasesize aligned (e.g. use MTDPART_OFS_NEXTBLK).
