Subject: [U-Boot] [PATCH v9 7/7] cmd: mtdparts: describe as legacy
Date: Wed, 26 Sep 2018 17:07:39 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180926150739.15316-8-miquel.raynal@bootlin.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20180926150739.15316-1-miquel.raynal@bootlin.com>

The 'mtdparts' command is not needed anymore. While the environment
variable is still valid (and useful, along with the 'mtdids' one), the
command has been replaced by 'mtd' which is much more close to the MTD
stack and do not add its own specific glue.
