The output that I get from sysfs is:
# ls -l /sys/block/mtdblock0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Apr 16 20:42 /sys/block/mtdblock0 -> ../devices/platform/physmap-flash.0/mtd/mtd0/mtdblock0
# cat /sys/devices/platform/physmap-flash.0/uevent
DRIVER=physmap-flash
MODALIAS=platform:physmap-flash
# cat /sys/devices/platform/physmap-flash.0/driver_override
(null)
So, it is saying that the driver is physmap-flash, right? I will compile
now a (new) kernel 4.0 with the parameter passed as my 2nd attempt above
(just to make sure that I have not messed up before). Just to confirm, this
should (in theory) work, right?
Anything else that I can provide? Again, just ask me and I will do my best
to collect the needed information.
Thanks once again,
