            	  Although most flash chips have an erase size too large to be useful

            
            	  as block devices, it is possible to use MTD devices which are based

            	  devices performing that function.


            	  At the moment, it is also required for the Journalling Flash File

            
            	  System(s) to obtain a handle on the MTD device when it's mounted

            	  of the mtdblock device).


            	  Later, it may be extended to perform read/erase/modify/write cycles

            
            	  on flash chips to emulate a smaller block size. Needless to say,

	flash.

	If you need code which can detect and parse this table, and register
	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

	Although most flash chips have an erase size too large to be useful
	as block devices, it is possible to use MTD devices which are based
	on RAM chips in this manner. This block device is a user of MTD
	devices performing that function.

	At the moment, it is also required for the Journalling Flash File
	System(s) to obtain a handle on the MTD device when it's mounted
	(although JFFS and JFFS2 don't actually use any of the functionality
	of the mtdblock device).

	Later, it may be extended to perform read/erase/modify/write cycles
	on flash chips to emulate a smaller block size. Needless to say,
	this is very unsafe, but could be useful for file systems which are
	almost never written to.
