-Subject: [PATCH] arch_flash_arm: Don't assume mtd labels are short
-To: skiboot@lists.ozlabs.org,
-    Cyril Bur <cyril.bur@au1.ibm.com>
-
-pflash relies on arch_flash_arm parsing /proc/mtd to discover the pnor
-partition. It helpfully uses strcasestr so it can handle the string
-changing, which is what has happened as we moved to upstream compliant
-mtd device tree bindings.
-
-We currently have a string like this:
-
-dev:    size   erasesize  name
-mtd0: 00060000 00001000 "u-boot"
-mtd1: 00020000 00001000 "u-boot-env"
-mtd2: 00280000 00001000 "kernel"
-mtd3: 001c0000 00001000 "initramfs"
-mtd4: 01740000 00001000 "rofs"
-mtd5: 00400000 00001000 "rwfs"
-mtd6: 02000000 00001000 "1e620000.flash-controller:flash@1"
-mtd7: 08000000 00001000 "1e630000.flash-controller:pnor@0"
-
-Unfortunately arch_flash_arm assumes the string will be at most 50
-characters. That's right before the label we're looking for starts so
-we ignore that line and keep searching.
-
-Fix it by allowing for a 255 character line.
