+ help
+ Memory Technology Devices are flash, RAM and similar chips, often
+ used for solid state file systems on embedded devices. This option
+ will provide the generic support for MTD drivers to register
+ themselves with the kernel and for potential users of MTD devices
+ to enumerate the devices which are present and obtain a handle on
+ them. It will also allow you to select individual drivers for
+ particular hardware and users of MTD devices. If unsure, say N.

+config MTD_BLOCK
+ tristate "Caching block device access to MTD devices"
+ depends on BLOCK
+ select MTD_BLKDEVS
+ help
+ Although most flash chips have an erase size too large to be useful
+ as block devices, it is possible to use MTD devices which are based
+ on RAM chips in this manner. This block device is a user of MTD
+ devices performing that function.
+
+ At the moment, it is also required for the Journalling Flash File
+ System(s) to obtain a handle on the MTD device when it's mounted
+ (although JFFS and JFFS2 don't actually use any of the functionality
+ of the mtdblock device).
+
+ Later, it may be extended to perform read/erase/modify/write cycles
+ on flash chips to emulate a smaller block size. Needless to say,
+ this is very unsafe, but could be useful for file systems which are
+ almost never written to.
+
+ You do not need this option for use with the DiskOnChip devices. For
+ those, enable NFTL support (CONFIG_NFTL) instead.
+

+ driver.

+ depends on BLOCK
+ select MTD_BLKDEVS
+ help
+ This provides support for the original Flash Translation Layer which
+ is part of the PCMCIA specification. It uses a kind of pseudo-
+ file system on a flash device to emulate a block device with
+ 512-byte sectors, on top of which you put a 'normal' file system.
+
+ You may find that the algorithms used in this code are patented
+ unless you live in the Free World where software patents aren't

+ This enables EXPERIMENTAL R/W support for SmartMedia/xD
+ FTL (Flash translation layer).
+ Write support is only lightly tested, therefore this driver
+ isn't recommended to use with valuable data (anyway if you have
+ valuable data, do backups regardless of software/hardware you
+ use, because you never know what will eat your data...)
+ If you only need R/O access, you can use older R/O driver

+ depends on MTD
+ help
+ For historical reasons, by default, either a master is present or
+ several partitions are present, but not both. The concern was that
+ data listed in multiple partitions was dangerous; however, SCSI does
+ this and it is frequently useful for applications. This config option
+ leaves the master in even if the device is partitioned. It also makes
+ the parent of the partition device be the master device, rather than
+ what lies behind the master.
