Subject: [PATCH v3 4/5] mtd_blkdevs: add option to enable scanning for partitions
Date: Thu, 12 May 2022 20:39:27 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <Yn1ibyUeXZttNX2a@makrotopia.org> (raw)

Add Kconfig boolean CONFIG_MTD_BLOCK_PARTITIONS and enable block
partition parsers on non-NAND mtdblock devices in case it is selected.
