From 7d84120b5ba61912a5333f5fe2c4e8f35ef9514f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?utf8?q?Rafa=C5=82=20Mi=C5=82ecki?= Date: Sun, 25 Jun 2017 13:11:54 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] Documentation: ABI: mtd: describe "offset" more precisely MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit So far Linux supported only two levels of MTD devices so we didn't need a very precise description for this sysfs file. With commit 97519dc52b44a ("mtd: partitions: add support for subpartitions") there is support for a tree structure so we should have more precise description. Using "parent" and "flash device" makes it more accurate.
