From 7799308f34d3c3371a319559687c78c0f2506fcf Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Artem Bityutskiy Date: Wed, 11 Oct 2006 14:52:44 +0300 Subject: [MTD] add get_mtd_device_nm() function This patch adds one more function to the MTD interface to make it possible to open MTD devices by their names, not only numbers. This is very handy in many situations. Also, MTD device number depend on load order and may vary, while names are fixed.
