[U-Boot] [PATCH 1/4] mtd: Add a function to report when the MTD dev list has been updated

We need to parse mtdparts/mtids again everytime a device has been added/removed from the MTD list, but there's currently no way to know when such an update has been done.
Add an ->updated field to the idr struct that we set to true every time a device is added/removed and expose a function returning the value of this field and resetting it to false.

I tried your patchset, with them "ubi part ubi" does now work, also after a "sf probe" ...
There is one problem, see log [1].
If you have an ubi partition attached (In my example on the NAND), and issue "sf probe", the following "mtd list" shows not anymore the SPI NOR MTD partitions. (It prints an error message "Partition "ubi" already in use, aborting")
If I detach UBI from the NAND MTD partition, the MTD Partitions on the SPI NOR are again found after a "sf probe" before "mtd list" [2]

I will have just a little time to look into this issue today, so there is a quick fix, please tell me if it works for you, otherwise I'll try to find more time during this week to look into it.
Thanks, Miquèl

I tried your patchset, with them "ubi part ubi" does now work, also after a "sf probe" ...
There is one problem, see log [1].
If you have an ubi partition attached (In my example on the NAND), and issue "sf probe", the following "mtd list" shows not anymore the SPI NOR MTD partitions. (It prints an error message "Partition "ubi" already in use, aborting")
If I detach UBI from the NAND MTD partition, the MTD Partitions on the SPI NOR are again found after a "sf probe" before "mtd list" [2]
I sent you a new version of this patchset that should address your issue. Note that updating parts on a device that is being used is still forbidden, but at least it does not block updates on other devices.
Oh, and I keep thinking the spi-flash code is broken, and none of this should happen if the spi-nor MTD devs were staying around instead of being unregistered/registered every time sf probe is called. But I don't intend to fix it now, as the proper solution is probably to port the spi-nor layer we have in Linux to u-boot.

If we don't do that, partitions might still be exposed while the underlying device is gone.

I try your patches soon, but give me some time.
Thanks!
bye, Heiko

spi_flash_mtd_register() can be called several times and each time it will register the same mtd_info instance like if it was a new one. The MTD ID allocation gets crazy when that happens, so let's track the status of the sf_mtd_info object to avoid that.
