+Subject: [PATCH] mtd: parsers: ofpart: limit parsing of deprecated DT syntax
+MIME-Version: 1.0
+Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
+Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
+
+For backward compatibility ofpart still supports the old syntax like:
+spi-flash@0 {
+ compatible = "jedec,spi-nor";
+ reg = <0x0>;
+
+ partition@0 {
+ label = "bootloader";
+ reg = <0x0 0x100000>;
+ };
+};
+(without "partitions" subnode).
+
+There is no reason however to support nested partitions without a clear
+"compatible" string like:
+partitions {
+ compatible = "fixed-partitions";
+ #address-cells = <1>;
+ #size-cells = <1>;
+
+ partition@0 {
+ label = "bootloader";
+ reg = <0x0 0x100000>;
+
+ partition@0 {
+ label = "config";
+ reg = <0x80000 0x80000>;
+ };
+ };
+};
+(we never officially supported or documented that).
+
+Make sure ofpart doesn't attempt to parse above.
