Subject[PATCH] mtd: Expose partition offset to the drivers
Date
Currently, there is no way to find out the offset of an mtd partition by
a driver. This might be needed by external hardware.

For example, a flash containing the firmware of an external device that
is also accessible by the main cpu/kernel.

The flash is big enough to have two partitions with 2 versions of the
firmware, so we can have a safe upgrade.

Once the flash has been updated we need the real offset, so we can write
it on the external device registers.
