4080d53624 mtd: parsers: remove reference to config MTD_NAND_TMIO
Commit 568494db6809 ("mtd: remove tmio_nand driver") removes the config
MTD_NAND_TMIO and its corresponding driver.

Remove the reference in MTD_SHARPSL_PARTS to that removed config.

085679b15b mtd: parsers: refer to ARCH_BCMBCA instead of ARCH_BCM4908
Commit dd5c672d7ca9 ("arm64: bcmbca: Merge ARCH_BCM4908 to ARCH_BCMBCA")
removes config ARCH_BCM4908 as config ARCH_BCMBCA has the same intent.

Probably due to concurrent development, commit 002181f5b150 ("mtd: parsers:
add Broadcom's U-Boot parser") introduces 'Broadcom's U-Boot partition
parser' that depends on ARCH_BCM4908, but this use was not visible during
the config refactoring from the commit above. Hence, these two changes
create a reference to a non-existing config symbol.

Adjust the MTD_BRCM_U_BOOT definition to refer to ARCH_BCMBCA instead of
ARCH_BCM4908 to remove the reference to the non-existing config symbol
ARCH_BCM4908.

f902baa917 dt-bindings: mtd: Remove useless file about partitions
There is already a real partitions.yaml file, so assuming everybody
knows hot to read yaml schema now, this text file is no longer needed,
so drop it.

Depending on the situation, the lines referring to this file are either
dropped or edited to point to mtd.yaml which includes partition{,s}.yaml.

9b78ef0c79 mtd: parsers: add support for Sercomm partitions
This adds an MTD partition parser for the Sercomm partition table that
is used in some Beeline, Netgear and Sercomm routers.

The Sercomm partition map table contains real partition offsets, which
may differ from device to device depending on the number and location of
bad blocks on NAND.

bb17230c61 mtd: parsers: ofpart: support BCM4908 fixed partitions
Some devices use fixed partitioning with some partitions requiring some
extra logic. E.g. BCM4908 may have multiple firmware partitions but
detecting currently used one requires checking bootloader parameters.

To support such cases without duplicating a lot of code (without copying
most of the ofpart.c code) support for post-parsing callback was added.

BCM4908 support in ofpart can be enabled using config option and results
in compiling & executing a specific callback. It simply reads offset of
currently used firmware partition from the DT. Bootloader specifies it
using the "brcm_blparms" property.

b597cc75f7 mtd: parsers: bcm63xx: Do not make it modular
With commit 91e81150d388 ("mtd: parsers: bcm63xx: simplify CFE
detection"), we generate a reference to fw_arg3 which is the fourth
firmware/command line argument on MIPS platforms. That symbol is not
exported and would cause a linking failure.

The parser is typically necessary to boot a BCM63xx-based system anyway
so having it be part of the kernel image makes sense, therefore make it
'bool' instead of 'tristate'.

dd84cb022b mtd: bcm63xxpart: move imagetag parsing to its own parser
Move the bcm963xx Image Tag parsing into its own partition parser. This
Allows reusing the parser with different full flash parsers.

While moving it, rename it to bcm963* to better reflect it isn't chip,
but reference implementation specific.

8a4580e4d2 mtd: sharpslpart: Add sharpslpart partition parser
The Sharp SL Series (Zaurus) PXA handhelds have 16/64/128M of NAND flash
and share the same layout of the first 7M partition, managed by Sharp FTL.

GPL 2.4 sources: http://support.ezaurus.com/developer/source/source_dl.asp

The purpose of this self-contained patch is to add a common parser and
remove the hardcoded sizes in the board files (these devices are not yet
converted to devicetree).
Users will have benefits because the mtdparts= tag will not be necessary
anymore and they will be free to repartition the little sized flash.

The obsolete bootloader can not pass the partitioning info to modern
kernels anymore so it has to be read from flash at known logical addresses.
(see http://www.h5.dion.ne.jp/~rimemoon/zaurus/memo_006.htm )

In kernel, under arch/arm/mach-pxa we have already 8 machines:
MACH_POODLE, MACH_CORGI, MACH_SHEPERD, MACH_HUSKY, MACH_AKITA, MACH_SPITZ,
MACH_BORZOI, MACH_TOSA.
Lost after the 2.4 vendor kernel are MACH_BOXER and MACH_TERRIER.

Almost every model has different factory partitioning: add to this the
units can be repartitioned by users with userspace tools (nandlogical)
and installers for popular (back then) linux distributions.

The Parameter Area in the first (boot) partition extends from 0x00040000 to
0x0007bfff (176k) and contains two copies of the partition table:
...
0x00060000: Partition Info1     16k
0x00064000: Partition Info2     16k
0x00668000: Model               16k
...

The first 7M partition is managed by the Sharp FTL reserving 5% + 1 blocks
for wear-leveling: some blocks are remapped and one layer of translation
(logical to physical) is necessary.

There isn't much documentation about this FTL in the 2.4 sources, just the
MTD methods for reading and writing using logical addresses and the block
management (wear-leveling, use counter).
It seems this FTL was tailored with 16KiB eraesize in mind so to fit one
param block exactly, to have two copies of the partition table on two
blocks.
Later pxa27x devices have same size but 128KiB erasesize and less blocks
(56 vs. 448) but the same schema was adopted, even if the two tables are
now in the same eraseblock.

For the purpose of the MTD parser only the read part of the code was taken.

The NAND drivers that can use this parser are sharpsl.c and tmio_nand.c.

99352afe8f mtd: extract TRX parser out of bcm47xxpart into a separated module
This makes TRX parsing code reusable with other platforms and parsers.

Please note this patch doesn't really change anything in the existing
code, just moves it. There is still some place for improvement (e.g.
working on non-hacky method of checking rootfs format) but it's not
really a subject of this change.
