kernel: backport mtd implementation for "compatible" in "partitions" subnode
This backports upstream support for "compatible" DT property set for the "partitions" subnode of flash node. It allows specifying how partitions should be created/parsed. Right now only "fixed-partitions" is supported. It should eventually replace our downstream "linux,part-probe" solution. 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.

+Subject: [PATCH] mtd: ofpart: add of_match_table with "fixed-partitions"
+MIME-Version: 1.0
+Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
+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.
