No, it is not used, and I never used it.
Maybe I've mistaken how these are used. Having just looked at the source
again, I see that the saved_params field isn't exported.
Am I correct in assuming that this information will still be available
in /dev/ps3flash starting at offset 0x200? That's actually where I'm
expecting to find the information anyway. I believed your patch was
changing that behaviour, although I probably didn't study it enough.Yes, and you can use libps3-utils to get it: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/geoff/ps3-utils.git -Geoff
