From: Rafał Miłecki <[email protected]> So far Linux supported only two levels of MTD devices so we didn't need a very precise description for this sysfs file. With commit 97519dc52b44a ("mtd: partitions: add support for subpartitions") there is support for a tree structure so we should have more precise description. Using "parent" and "flash device" makes it more accurate.
