  23 +         MyLoader is a bootloader which allows the user to define partitions
  24 +         in flash devices, by putting a table in the second erase block
  25 +         on the device, similar to a partition table. This table gives the
  26 +         offsets and lengths of the user defined partitions.
  27 +
  28 +         If you need code which can detect and parse these tables, and
  29 +         register MTD 'partitions' corresponding to each image detected,
  30 +         enable this option.
  31 +
  32 +         You will still need the parsing functions to be called by the driver
  33 +         for your particular device. It won't happen automatically.
