[U-Boot] [PATCH v6 23/27] cmd: mtdparts: add a generic 'mtdparts' parser

Wed Aug 1 08:18:44 UTC 2018


The current parser is very specific to U-Boot mtdparts implementation.
It does not use MTD structures like mtd_info and mtd_partition. Write
some kind of a wrapper around the current implementation to allow other
commands to benefit from this parsing in a user-friendly way.

This new command will allocate an mtd_partition array for each
successful call. This array must be freed after use by the caller.
The given 'mtdparts' buffer pointer will be moved forward to the next
MTD device (if any, it will point towards a '\0' character otherwise).
