+ * mtd_wunit_to_pairing_info - get pairing information of a wunit
+ * @mtd: pointer to new MTD device info structure
+ * @wunit: write unit we are interested in
+ * @info: returned pairing information
+ *
+ * Retrieve pairing information associated to the wunit.
+ * This is mainly useful when dealing with MLC/TLC NANDs where pages can be
+ * paired together, and where programming a page may influence the page it is
+ * paired with.
+ * The notion of page is replaced by the term wunit (write-unit) to stay
+ * consistent with the ->writesize field.
+ *
+ * The @wunit argument can be extracted from an absolute offset using
+ * mtd_offset_to_wunit(). @info is filled with the pairing information attached
+ * to @wunit.
+ *
+ * From the pairing info the MTD user can find all the wunits paired with
+ * @wunit using the following loop:
+ *
+ * for (i = 0; i < mtd_pairing_groups(mtd); i++) {
+ * info.pair = i;
+ * mtd_pairing_info_to_wunit(mtd, &info);
+ * ...
