Currently on a imx6sx-sdb board, which has two SPI NOR chips connected
to QSPI2 the following output from /proc/mtd is seen:

# cat /proc/mtd 
dev:    size   erasesize  name
mtd0: 01000000 00010000 "21e4000.qspi"
mtd1: 01000000 00010000 "21e4000.qspi"

Attempts to partition them on the kernel command line result in both
chips with identical (and identically named) partitions, which is
an inconvenient behavior.

Assign a different mtd->name for each mtd device to avoid this problem.

After this change the output from /proc/mtd becomes:

# cat /proc/mtd 
dev:    size   erasesize  name
mtd0: 01000000 00010000 "21e4000.qspi-0"
mtd1: 01000000 00010000 "21e4000.qspi-1"

In order to keep mtdparts compatibility keep the mtd->name
unchanged when a single SPI NOR is present.

Do you plan to apply this one for 4.17?

Thanks

I'm not applying spi-nor patches, and Cyrille already sent me his PR
for 4.16. So yes, I'd say it will be queued for 4.17. Is this a problem?

No problem. Thanks for the clarification.

Cyrille, I missed to add you on Cc on v6. Should I resend it with you on Cc?

Thanks
