Subject: kernel: mtdsplit: document Seama splitter a bit
X-Git-Url: http://git.lede-project.org./?a=commitdiff_plain;h=02abeb3b0abe09d4b24ff0f5d39f6741f515da35;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Faparcar.git

kernel: mtdsplit: document Seama splitter a bit

Rename kernel_size variable as it includes whole entity size, not just a
kernel size. Also update comments to match it and describe better what
are we checking/looking for.
