Subject: [PATCH 02/11] powerpc/nvram: More flexible nvram_create_partition()
Date: Mon,  2 Aug 2010 10:55:13 +1000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1280710522-6362-3-git-send-email-benh@kernel.crashing.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1280710522-6362-2-git-send-email-benh@kernel.crashing.org>

Replace nvram_create_os_partition() with a variant that takes
the partition name, signature and size as arguments.
