Folks,
Could we please incorporate this info the main line linux code. Adds command line mtdparts= support for cafe_nand flash.
NOTE: I changed where add_mtd_device was done so that there is NOT a complete flash mount point following by the partitions that were added. Before this n+1 partitions were added. 1 partition for the complete flash and then n partitions.
Philip
