CONFIG_MTD_AFS_PARTS: ARM Firmware Suite partition parsing

General informations

The Linux kernel configuration item CONFIG_MTD_AFS_PARTS has multiple definitions:

ARM Firmware Suite partition parsing found in drivers/mtd/parsers/Kconfig

The configuration item CONFIG_MTD_AFS_PARTS:

• prompt: ARM Firmware Suite partition parsing
• type: tristate
• depends on: ( CONFIG_ARM || CONFIG_ARM64 )
• defined in drivers/mtd/parsers/Kconfig
• found in Linux kernels: 5.2–5.19, 6.0–6.12
• modules built: afs, afs

Help text

The ARM Firmware Suite allows the user to divide flash devices into multiple 'images'. Each such image has a header containing its name and offset/size etc.

If you need code which can detect and parse these tables, and register MTD 'partitions' corresponding to each image detected, enable this option.

You will still need the parsing functions to be called by the driver for your particular device. It won't happen automatically. The 'physmap' map driver (MTD_PHYSMAP) does this, for example.
