Mt6589 Android Scatter Emmctxtnnlin | New

Context

The MediaTek MT6589 is a legacy (2013) 28nm quad-core Cortex-A7 SoC. Its scatter file describes the eMMC partition layout. The term nnlin is not standard in official MTK documentation; it appears to be a custom or modified format (possibly "NAND linear" mapped to eMMC blocks, or a vendor-specific alignment tag).
