+ Say Y if you like to setup partitions for block devices by reading
+ from the kernel command line (kernel boot arguments).
+
+ The format of the partitions on the command line:
+ blkdevparts=<blkdev-def>[;<blkdev-def>]
+ <blkdev-def> := <blkdev-id>:<partdef>[,<partdef>]
+ <partdef> := <size>[@<offset>]
+
+ <blkdev-id> := unique id used to map driver to blockdev name
+ <size> := size in numbers of sectors
+ <offset> := offset in sectors for partition to start at
+
+ Example:
+ blkdevparts=mmc0:1024@0,524288@1024;mmc1:8192@0,8192@8192
