* kernel: backport mtd support for subpartitions in DTRafał Miłecki2018-07-271-0/+102
This is a new & warm feature that allows nesting partiitons in DT and mixing their types (e.g. static vs. dynamic). It's very useful for boards that have most partitions static but some of them require extra parsing (e.g. a "firmware" partition). It's required to successfully backport support for new devices using that new syntax in their DT files. Since brcm63xx has a custom alternative patch the upstream one is being reverted for it. The plan is to make brcm63xx use the upstream implementation. Signed-off-by: Rafał Miłecki <rafal@milecki.pl>
