- * mtd_device_register - register an MTD device.
+ * mtd_device_parse_register - parse partitions and register an MTD device.
*
- * @master: the MTD device to register
- * @parts: the partitions to register - only valid if nr_parts > 0
- * @nr_parts: the number of partitions in parts. If zero then the full MTD
- * device is registered
+ * @mtd: the MTD device to register
+ * @types: the list of MTD partition probes to try, see
+ * 'parse_mtd_partitions()' for more information
+ * @parser_data: MTD partition parser-specific data
+ * @parts: fallback partition information to register, if parsing fails;
+ * only valid if %nr_parts > %0
+ * @nr_parts: the number of partitions in parts, if zero then the full
+ * MTD device is registered if no partition info is found
*
- * Register an MTD device with the system and optionally, a number of
- * partitions. If nr_parts is 0 then the whole device is registered, otherwise
- * only the partitions are registered. To register both the full device *and*
- * the partitions, call mtd_device_register() twice, once with nr_parts == 0
- * and once equal to the number of partitions.
+ * This function aggregates MTD partitions parsing (done by
+ * 'parse_mtd_partitions()') and MTD device and partitions registering. It
+ * basically follows the most common pattern found in many MTD drivers:
+ *
+ * * It first tries to probe partitions on MTD device @mtd using parsers
+ * specified in @types (if @types is %NULL, then the default list of parsers
+ * is used, see 'parse_mtd_partitions()' for more information). If none are
+ * found this functions tries to fallback to information specified in
+ * @parts/@nr_parts.
+ * * If any partitioning info was found, this function registers the found
+ * partitions.
+ * * If no partitions were found this function just registers the MTD device
+ * @mtd and exits.
+ *
+ * Returns zero in case of success and a negative error code in case of failure.
