 Embedded device command line partition
-=====================================================================
-
-Read block device partition table from command line.
-The partition used for fixed block device (eMMC) embedded device.
-It is no MBR, save storage space. Bootloader can be easily accessed
-by absolute address of data on the block device.
-Users can easily change the partition.
-
-The format for the command line is just like mtdparts:
-
-blkdevparts=<blkdev-def>[;<blkdev-def>]
+Authors: Cai Zhiyong <caizhiyong@huawei.com>
+
+The format for the command line is as follows,
+it is used by MTD device (reference drivers/mtd/cmdlinepart.c) and
+block device (reference block/partitions/cmdline.c)
+
+================================================================================
+For MTD device:
+  mtdparts=<mtddef>[;<mtddef]
+  <mtddef>  := <mtd-id>:<partdef>[,<partdef>]
+  <partdef> := <size>[@<offset>][<name>][ro][lk]
+  <mtd-id>  := unique name used in mapping driver/device (mtd->name)
+  <size>    := standard linux memsize OR "-" to denote all remaining space
+               size is automatically truncated at end of device
+               if specified or trucated size is 0 the part is skipped
+  <offset>  := standard linux memsize
+               if omitted the part will immediately follow the previous part
+               or 0 if the first part
+  <name>    := '(' NAME ')'
+               NAME will appear in /proc/mtd
+
+  <size> and <offset> can be specified such that the parts are out of order
+  in physical memory and may even overlap.
+
+  The parts are assigned MTD numbers in the order they are specified in the
+  command line regardless of their order in physical memory.
+
+  Examples:
+
+  1 NOR Flash, with 1 single writable partition:
+  edb7312-nor:-
+
+  1 NOR Flash with 2 partitions, 1 NAND with one
+  edb7312-nor:256k(ARMboot)ro,-(root);edb7312-nand:-(home)
+
+================================================================================
+For block device:
+  blkdevparts=<blkdev-def>[;<blkdev-def>]
   <blkdev-def> := <blkdev-id>:<partdef>[,<partdef>]
-    <partdef> := <size>[@<offset>](part-name)
-
-<blkdev-id>
-    block device disk name, embedded device used fixed block device,
-    it's disk name also fixed. such as: mmcblk0, mmcblk1, mmcblk0boot0.
-
-<size>
-    partition size, in bytes, such as: 512, 1m, 1G.
-
-<offset>
-    partition start address, in bytes.
-
-(part-name)
-    partition name, kernel send uevent with "PARTNAME". application can create
-    a link to block device partition with the name "PARTNAME".
-    user space application can access partition by partition name.
-
-Example:
-    eMMC disk name is "mmcblk0" and "mmcblk0boot0"
-
-  bootargs:
+  <partdef> := <size>[@<offset>][<name>]
+  <blkdev-id>
+       block device disk name, embedded device used fixed block device,
+       it's disk name also fixed. such as: mmcblk0, mmcblk1, mmcblk0boot0.
+  <size>    := standard linux memsize OR "-" to denote all remaining space
+               size is automatically truncated at end of device
+               if specified or trucated size is 0 the part is skipped
+  <offset>  := standard linux memsize
+               if omitted the part will immediately follow the previous part
+               or 0 if the first part
+  <name>    := '(' NAME ')'
+        partition name, kernel send uevent with "PARTNAME". application could
+        create a link to block device partition with the name "PARTNAME".
+        user space application can access partition by partition name.
+
+  Example:
+
+    eMMC disk name is "mmcblk0" and "mmcblk0boot0", bootargs:
     'blkdevparts=mmcblk0:1G(data0),1G(data1),-;mmcblk0boot0:1m(boot),-(kernel)'
-
-  dmesg:
-    mmcblk0: p1(data0) p2(data1) p3()
-    mmcblk0boot0: p1(boot) p2(kernel)
