From fb42378dcc7f247df56f0ecddfdae85487495fbc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Saravana Kannan Date: Mon, 6 Feb 2023 17:42:04 -0800 Subject: mtd: mtdpart: Don't create platform device that'll never probe These "nvmem-cells" platform devices never get probed because there's no platform driver for it and it's never used anywhere else. So it's a waste of memory. These devices also cause fw_devlink to block nvmem consumers of "nvmem-cells" partition from probing because the supplier device never probes. So stop creating platform devices for nvmem-cells partitions to avoid wasting memory and to avoid blocking probing of consumers.
