Hi,

I've noticed a problem with a patch for the pxa2xx-flash.c map, which has been committed to the nextline kernel (currently 3.2-rc3)

The problem is that hardcoded mtd partitions are no longer probed - and that breaks a lot of board support modules.

The patch is described as 
"mtd: pxa2xx-flash.c: use mtd_device_parse_register"

and can be seen here: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git;a=commit;h=6fcdc92fce81eadcee262a7a66bf3207314fab87

I have created a small patch to address this.

Best regards
Anders Mork-Pedersen <amp@frogne.dk>

Looks OK, but could you please send a patch suitable for 'git am'? So
that I save your mail and give it to git-am and end up with a commit
which has you as the author, and a nice commit message. Also, please, CC

Thanks!
