  16  * Partition definition structure:
  17  *
  18  * An array of struct partition is passed along with a MTD object to
  19  * add_mtd_partitions() 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  * mask_flags: contains flags that have to be masked (removed) from the
  29  *      master MTD flag set for the corresponding MTD partition.
  30  *      For example, to force a read-only partition, simply adding
  31  *      MTD_WRITEABLE to the mask_flags will do the trick.
  32  *
  33  * Note: writeable partitions require their size and offset be
  34  * erasesize aligned (e.g. use MTDPART_OFS_NEXTBLK).
