Why This File Exists
Repeatable hardware-adapter layer. Deep compatibility for every driver is out of scope; this atlas records patterns, probe lifecycles, bus glue, IRQ/DMA usage, and links back to core abstractions.
- Repeatable hardware-adapter layer. Deep compatibility for every driver is out of scope; this atlas records patterns, probe lifecycles, bus glue, IRQ/DMA usage, and links back to core abstractions.
- Exports symbols or registers init work; inspect boot/module ordering and who consumes the exported contract.
- Uses kernel synchronization; read lock ordering, sleepability, and interrupt context assumptions before translating.
- Defines or uses C structs; map object ownership, embedded links, reference counts, and lock ownership.

Annotation
- Immediate include surface: `linux/kernel.h`, `linux/module.h`, `linux/kmod.h`, `linux/spinlock.h`, `linux/slab.h`, `linux/mtd/map.h`, `linux/mtd/mtd.h`.
- Detected declarations: `function register_mtd_chip_driver`, `function unregister_mtd_chip_driver`, `function list_for_each_entry`, `function get_module_symbol`, `function map_destroy`, `export register_mtd_chip_driver`, `export unregister_mtd_chip_driver`, `export do_map_probe`, `export map_destroy`.
- Atlas domain: Driver Families / drivers/mtd.
- Implementation status: integration implementation candidate.
- Synchronization appears in or near this file; preserve lock ordering, sleepability, and interrupt-context constraints.
Implementation Notes
- This generated page is the file-by-file coverage layer; curated subsystem chapters should link here when they synthesize a multi-file control flow.
- Core OS pages should be promoted from atlas-only to deep-reviewed when they explain data structures, invariants, locking, lifecycle, and C implementation snippets.
- Driver-family pages are intentionally pattern-oriented unless they are part of the selected PCIe/NVMe representative device path.
