kernel: use accepted mtd patchset adding support for "compatible" string
These patches were finally accepted and are already present in the Linus's tree. This should be good enough to make is "backport" material. Signed-off-by: Rafał Miłecki <rafal@milecki.pl>

-Subject: [PATCH V10 1/3] mtd: partitions: add of_match_table parser matching
- for the "ofpart" type
-MIME-Version: 1.0
-Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
-Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
-
-In order to properly support compatibility strings as described in the
-bindings/mtd/partition.txt "ofpart" type should be treated as an
-indication for looking into OF. MTD should check "compatible" property
-and search for a matching parser rather than blindly trying the one
-supporting "fixed-partitions".
-
-It also means that existing "fixed-partitions" parser should get renamed
-to use a more meaningful name.
-
-This commit achievies that aim by introducing a new mtd_part_of_parse().
-It works by looking for a matching parser for every string in the
-"compatibility" property (starting with the most specific one).
-
-Please note that driver-specified parsers still take a precedence. It's
-assumed that driver providing a parser type has a good reason for that
-(e.g. having platform data with device-specific info). Also doing
-otherwise could break existing setups. The same applies to using default
-parsers (including "cmdlinepart") as some overwrite DT data with cmdline
-argument.
-
-Partition parsers can now provide an of_match_table to enable
-flash<-->parser matching via device tree as documented in the
-mtd/partition.txt.
-
-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.
