Subject: [PATCH v4 1/2] mtd: Add flag to indicate panic_write
Date:   Tue, 18 Jun 2019 14:26:42 -0400
Message-Id: <1560882420-727-1-git-send-email-kdasu.kdev@gmail.com>
Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org
Precedence: bulk

Added a flag to indicate a panic_write so that low level drivers can
use it to take required action where applicable, to ensure oops data
gets written to assigned mtd device.
