kernel: use V10 of mtd patchset adding support for "compatible" string
In the commit bde5e7a632ef0 ("kernel: backport mtd implementation for "compatible" in "partitions" subnode") patches that got accepted into l2-mtd.git were backported to the kernels 4.9 and 4.14. Unfortunately there was a regression report, patches were dropped and never reached 4.16. This commit replaces these pseudo-backports with the latest version that includes regression fix and futher changes that were requested. Signed-off-by: Rafał Miłecki <rafal@milecki.pl>

-Subject: [PATCH] mtd: partitions: add of_match_table parser matching
-MIME-Version: 1.0
-Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
-Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
-
-Partition parsers can now provide an of_match_table to enable
-flash<-->parser matching via device tree as documented in the
-mtd/partition.txt.
-
-It works by looking for a matching parser for every string in the
-"compatibility" property (starting with the most specific one).
-
-This support is currently limited to built-in parsers as it uses
-request_module() and friends. This should be sufficient for most cases
-though as compiling parsers as modules isn't a common choice.

-MIME-Version: 1.0

-Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
-
-This allows using this parser with any flash driver that takes care of
-setting of_node (using mtd_set_of_node helper) correctly. Up to now
-support for "fixed-partitions" DT compatibility string was working only
-with flash drivers that were specifying "ofpart" (manually or by letting
-mtd use the default set of parsers).
-
-This matches existing bindings documentation.
