+Subject: [PATCH] dt-bindings: mtd: convert "fixed-partitions" to the
+ json-schema
+MIME-Version: 1.0
+Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
+Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
+
+This standardizes its documentation, allows validating with Makefile
+checks and helps writing DTS files.
+
+Noticeable changes:
+1. Dropped "Partitions can be represented by sub-nodes of a flash
+ device." as we also support subpartitions (don't have to be part of
+ flash device node)
+2. Dropped "to Linux" as bindings are meant to be os agnostic.

+-Fixed Partitions
+-================
+-
+-Partitions can be represented by sub-nodes of a flash device. This can be used
+-on platforms which have strong conventions about which portions of a flash are
+-used for what purposes, but which don't use an on-flash partition table such
+-as RedBoot.
+-
+-The partition table should be a subnode of the flash node and should be named
+-'partitions'. This node should have the following property:
+-- compatible : (required) must be "fixed-partitions"
+-Partitions are then defined in subnodes of the partitions node.
++Deprecated: partitions defined in flash node
++============================================
+
+ For backwards compatibility partitions as direct subnodes of the flash device are
+ supported. This use is discouraged.
+ NOTE: also for backwards compatibility, direct subnodes that have a compatible
+ string are not considered partitions, as they may be used for other bindings.
+-
+-#address-cells & #size-cells must both be present in the partitions subnode of the
+-flash device. There are two valid values for both:
+-<1>: for partitions that require a single 32-bit cell to represent their
+- size/address (aka the value is below 4 GiB)
+-<2>: for partitions that require two 32-bit cells to represent their
+- size/address (aka the value is 4 GiB or greater).
+-
+-Required properties:
+-- reg : The partition's offset and size within the flash
+-
+-Optional properties:
+-- label : The label / name for this partition. If omitted, the label is taken
+- from the node name (excluding the unit address).
+-- read-only : This parameter, if present, is a hint to Linux that this
+- partition should only be mounted read-only. This is usually used for flash
+- partitions containing early-boot firmware images or data which should not be
+- clobbered.
+-- lock : Do not unlock the partition at initialization time (not supported on
+- all devices)
+-- slc-mode: This parameter, if present, allows one to emulate SLC mode on a
+- partition attached to an MLC NAND thus making this partition immune to
+- paired-pages corruptions
