+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.
