6 used for solid state file systems on embedded devices. This option
7 will provide the generic support for MTD drivers to register

9 to enumerate the devices which are present and obtain a handle on
97894cda 10 them. It will also allow you to select individual drivers for

25 ---help---
26 RedBoot is a ROM monitor and bootloader which deals with multiple
27 'images' in flash devices by putting a table one of the erase
28 blocks on the device, similar to a partition table, which gives
29 the offsets, lengths and names of all the images stored in the
30 flash.
31
32 If you need code which can detect and parse this table, and register
33 MTD 'partitions' corresponding to each image in the table, enable
97894cda 34 this option.

165 Although most flash chips have an erase size too large to be useful
166 as block devices, it is possible to use MTD devices which are based
167 on RAM chips in this manner. This block device is a user of MTD
168 devices performing that function.
169
170 At the moment, it is also required for the Journalling Flash File
171 System(s) to obtain a handle on the MTD device when it's mounted
172 (although JFFS and JFFS2 don't actually use any of the functionality
173 of the mtdblock device).
174
175 Later, it may be extended to perform read/erase/modify/write cycles
176 on flash chips to emulate a smaller block size. Needless to say,
177 this is very unsafe, but could be useful for file systems which are
178 almost never written to.
