Add new mtdsplit parser "mstc-boot" for the devices manufactured by MSTC
(Mitra Star Technology Corp.). This is necessary to handle dual-boot on
those devices.
This parser splits kernel+rootfs or only rootfs(or UBI) based on the
image in the firmware partition or pre-defined partitions in dts, and
"bootnum" value in the "persist" (or "working") partition.
Note: "bootnum" is used for switching active firmware partitions on the
devices manufactured by MSTC and '1' or '2' are used on most
devices. But some devices use '0' or '1'. (example: I-O DATA
WN-DEAX1800GR)
Sequence:
1. obtain "bootnum" value
2. child nodes exsist (regardless of bootnum)
-> fixed partitions
(active parts : without bootnum (ex.: "kernel", "rootfs")
inactive parts: with bootnum (ex.: "kernel2", "rootfs2"))
3. current partition is active (dt bootnum == mtd bootnum)
-> image-based partitions
Device Tree:
- common
- mstc,bootnum : "bootnum" value for the mtd partition (0/1/2)
- mstc,persist : phandle of "persist" partition containing "bootnum"
value
- fixed partitions
- #address-cells: indicate cell count of address of child nodes (1)
- #size-cells : indicate cell count of size of child nodes (1)
- (child nodes) : define the child partitions
- reg : define the offset and size
- label-base : define the base name of the partition
- (example) : base:"kernel"->"kernel"(active)/"kernel2"(inactive)
example:
partition@3c0000 {
compatible = "mstc,boot";
reg = <0x3c0000 0x3240000>;
label = "firmware1";
mstc,bootnum = <1>;
mstc,persist = <&mtd_persist>;
#address-cells = <1>;
#size-cells = <1>;
partition@0 {
reg = <0x0 0x800000>;
label-base = "kernel";
};
partition@800000 {
reg = <0x800000 0x2a40000>;
label-base = "ubi";
};
};
- image-based partitions
(no additional properties)
example:
partition@5a0000 {
compatible = "mstc,boot";
label = "firmware1";
reg = <0x5a0000 0x3200000>;
mstc,bootnum = <1>;
mstc,persist = <&mtd_persist>;
};

Introduced with Linux 6.7, in commit:
5c2f7727d437 ("mtd: mtdpart: check for subpartitions parsing result"),
when a parser returns an error, this will be passed up, and
consequently, all parent mtd partitions get torn down.
Adjust the mtdsplit_uimage driver to only return an error if there is a
critical problem in reading from the mtd device or allocating memory.
Otherwise return 0 to indicate that no partitions were found.
Also add logging to indicate what went wrong.
E.g. on Realtek devices that are booted for the first time through
initramfs with OpenWrt never installed before boot log will show
