Some MTD sublayers/drivers are implementing ->_read/write() and not ->_read/write_oob(). While for NAND devices both are usually valid, for NOR devices, using the _oob variant has no real meaning. But, as the MTD layer is supposed to hide as much as possible the flash complexity to the user, there is no reason to error out while it is just a matter of rewritting things internally. Add a fallback on mtd->_read() (resp. mtd->_write()) when the user calls mtd_read_oob() (resp. mtd_write_oob()) while mtd->_read_oob() (resp. mtd->_write_oob) is not implemented. There is already a fallback on the _oob variant if the former is used. Signed-off-by: Miquel Raynal <miquel.raynal@bootlin.com> Signed-off-by: Boris Brezillon <boris.brezillon@bootlin.com>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
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.
