[PATCH v4 1/9] mtd: sharpslpart: add sharpslpart MTD partition parser

Hi Andrea,

I'm sorry this had to wait so long, but then...you didn't actually
address several of my comments from the last time :(

This does look better, but still quite a few smaller notes. Hopefully
next one will be merge-able...

This has conflicts now; probably should go in
drivers/mtd/parsers/Kconfig now. We should also probably move the other
parsers there, but that's not your problem.

Also has conflicts now. Might as well move to drivers/mtd/parsers/?

Sorry, these aren't good macros; they implicitly rely on a 'buf1'
variable, without using it as an argument to the macro. That hurts
readability. If you want this macro, give it 2 args.

I asked you not to avoid making this variable static...and I suppose
technically you did this. But global is even worse! And you really don't
need to do this; just make sharpsl_nand_init_logical() return struct
mtd_logical, and then you don't need any global/static reference at all.

Thanks for this. Much nicer.

What's this for? You're re-assigning it immediately following.

And why don't you just name the arg 'logical' and...

...drop this?

If you kill the global, you don't need this.

Not necessary.

Make 'logical' a parameter, so you don't need the global.

Should the above 2 be '__le32'?

It's a little odd that the same on-flash structure would have both BE
and LE elements, but I guess judging by usage...this should be '__be32'.

You don't really need this block under the 'if'. You can just invert
this to 'if (err)', since the second block will return early.
