Currently on a imx6sx-sdb board, which has two SPI NOR chips connected to QSPI2 the following output from /proc/mtd is seen: dev: size erasesize name mtd0: 01000000 00010000 "21e4000.qspi" mtd1: 01000000 00010000 "21e4000.qspi" Attempts to partition them on the kernel command line result in both chips with identical (and identically named) partitions, which is an inconvenient behavior. Assign a different mtd->name for each mtd device to avoid this problem. After this change the output from /proc/mtd becomes: dev: size erasesize name mtd0: 01000000 00010000 "21e4000.qspi-0" mtd1: 01000000 00010000 "21e4000.qspi-1" In order to keep mtdparts compatibility keep the mtd->name unchanged when a single SPI NOR is present.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
