config CONFIG_MTD_AR7_PARTS
	tristate "TI AR7 partitioning parser"
	help
	  TI CONFIG_AR7 partitioning parser support

config CONFIG_MTD_BCM47XX_PARTS
	tristate "BCM47XX partitioning parser"
	depends on CONFIG_BCM47XX || CONFIG_ARCH_BCM_5301X
	help
	  This provides partitions parser for devices based on BCM47xx
	  boards.

config CONFIG_MTD_BCM63XX_PARTS
	tristate "BCM63XX CFE partitioning parser"
	depends on CONFIG_BCM63XX || CONFIG_BMIPS_GENERIC || CONFIG_COMPILE_TEST
	select CONFIG_CRC32
	select CONFIG_MTD_PARSER_IMAGETAG
	help
	  This provides partition parsing for BCM63xx devices with CFE
	  bootloaders.

config CONFIG_MTD_CMDLINE_PARTS
	tristate "Command line partition table parsing"
	depends on CONFIG_MTD
	help
	  Allow generic configuration of the CONFIG_MTD partition tables via the kernel
	  command line. Multiple flash resources are supported for hardware where
	  different kinds of flash memory are available.

	  You will still need the parsing functions to be called by the driver
	  for your particular device. It won't happen automatically. The
	  SA1100 map driver (CONFIG_MTD_SA1100) has an option for this, for
	  example.

	  The format for the command line is as follows:

	  mtdparts=<mtddef>[;<mtddef]
	  <mtddef>  := <mtd-id>:<partdef>[,<partdef>]
	  <partdef> := <size>[@offset][<name>][ro]
	  <mtd-id>  := unique id used in mapping driver/device
	  <size>    := standard linux memsize OR "-" to denote all
	  remaining space
	  <name>    := (NAME)

	  Due to the way Linux handles the command line, no spaces are
	  allowed in the partition definition, including mtd id's and partition
	  names.

	  Examples:

	  1 flash resource (mtd-id "sa1100"), with 1 single writable partition:
	  mtdparts=sa1100:-

	  Same flash, but 2 named partitions, the first one being read-only:
	  mtdparts=sa1100:256k(ARMboot)ro,-(root)

	  If unsure, say 'N'.

config CONFIG_MTD_OF_PARTS
	tristate "OpenFirmware (device tree) partitioning parser"
	default y
	depends on CONFIG_OF
	help
	  This provides a open firmware device tree partition parser
	  which derives the partition map from the children of the
	  flash memory node, as described in
	  Documentation/devicetree/bindings/mtd/partition.txt.

config CONFIG_MTD_PARSER_IMAGETAG
	tristate "Parser for BCM963XX Image Tag format partitions"
	depends on CONFIG_BCM63XX || CONFIG_BMIPS_GENERIC || CONFIG_COMPILE_TEST
	select CONFIG_CRC32
	help
	  Image Tag is the firmware header used by broadcom on their xDSL line
	  of devices. It is used to describe the offsets and lengths of kernel
	  and rootfs partitions.
	  This driver adds support for parsing a partition with an Image Tag
	  header and creates up to two partitions, kernel and rootfs.

config CONFIG_MTD_AFS_PARTS
	tristate "ARM Firmware Suite partition parsing"
	depends on (CONFIG_ARM || CONFIG_ARM64)
	help
	  The CONFIG_ARM Firmware Suite allows the user to divide flash devices into
	  multiple 'images'. Each such image has a header containing its name
	  and offset/size etc.

	  If you need code which can detect and parse these tables, and
	  register CONFIG_MTD 'partitions' corresponding to each image detected,
	  enable this option.

	  You will still need the parsing functions to be called by the driver
	  for your particular device. It won't happen automatically. The
	  'physmap' map driver (CONFIG_MTD_PHYSMAP) does this, for example.

config CONFIG_MTD_PARSER_TRX
	tristate "Parser for TRX format partitions"
	depends on CONFIG_MTD && (CONFIG_BCM47XX || CONFIG_ARCH_BCM_5301X || CONFIG_COMPILE_TEST)
	help
	  TRX is a firmware format used by Broadcom on their devices. It
	  may contain up to 3/4 partitions (depending on the version).
	  This driver will parse TRX header and report at least two partitions:
	  kernel and rootfs.

config CONFIG_MTD_SHARPSL_PARTS
	tristate "Sharp SL Series NAND flash partition parser"
	depends on CONFIG_MTD_NAND_SHARPSL || CONFIG_MTD_NAND_TMIO || CONFIG_COMPILE_TEST
	help
	  This provides the read-only CONFIG_FTL logic necessary to read the partition
	  table from the NAND flash of Sharp SL Series (Zaurus) and the CONFIG_MTD
	  partition parser using this code.

config CONFIG_MTD_REDBOOT_PARTS
	tristate "RedBoot partition table parsing"
	help
	  RedBoot is a CONFIG_ROM monitor and bootloader which deals with multiple
	  'images' in flash devices by putting a table one of the erase
	  blocks on the device, similar to a partition table, which gives
	  the offsets, lengths and names of all the images stored in the
	  flash.

	  If you need code which can detect and parse this table, and register
	  CONFIG_MTD 'partitions' corresponding to each image in the table, enable
	  this option.

	  You will still need the parsing functions to be called by the driver
	  for your particular device. It won't happen automatically. The
	  SA1100 map driver (CONFIG_MTD_SA1100) has an option for this, for
	  example.

if CONFIG_MTD_REDBOOT_PARTS

config CONFIG_MTD_REDBOOT_DIRECTORY_BLOCK
	int "Location of RedBoot partition table"
	default "-1"
	help
	  This option is the Linux counterpart to the
	  CYGNUM_REDBOOT_FIS_DIRECTORY_BLOCK RedBoot compile time
	  option.

	  The option specifies which Flash sectors holds the RedBoot
	  partition table.  CONFIG_A zero or positive value gives an absolute
	  erase block number. CONFIG_A negative value specifies a number of
	  sectors before the end of the device.

	  For example "2" means block number 2, "-1" means the last
	  block and "-2" means the penultimate block.

config CONFIG_MTD_REDBOOT_PARTS_UNALLOCATED
	bool "Include unallocated flash regions"
	help
	  If you need to register each unallocated flash region as a CONFIG_MTD
	  'partition', enable this option.

config CONFIG_MTD_REDBOOT_PARTS_READONLY
	bool "Force read-only for RedBoot system images"
	help
	  If you need to force read-only for 'RedBoot', 'RedBoot Config' and
	  'FIS directory' images, enable this option.
