Instead of collecting partitions in a flat list, create a hierarchy
within the mtd_info structure: use a partitions list to keep track of
the partitions of an MTD device (which might be itself a partition of
another MTD device), a pointer to the parent device (NULL when the MTD
device is the root one, not a partition).
By also saving directly in mtd_info the offset of the partition, we
can get rid of the mtd_part structure.
While at it, be consistent in the naming of the mtd_info structures to
ease the understanding of the new hierarchy: these structures are
usually called 'mtd', unless there are multiple instances of the same
structure. In this case, there is usually a parent/child bound so we
will call them 'parent' and 'child'.

While at first mtd_part_of_parse() would just call
of_get_chil_by_name(), it has been patched to deal with sub-partitions
and will now directly manipulate the node returned by mtd_get_of_node()
if the MTD device is a partition.
A of_node_put() was a bit below in the code, to balance the
of_get_child_by_name(). However, despite its name, mtd_get_of_node()
does not take a reference on the OF node. It is a simple helper hiding
some pointer logic to retrieve the OF node related to an MTD
device.
The direct effect of such unbalanced reference counting is visible by
rmmod'ing any module that would have added MTD partitions:
OF: ERROR: Bad of_node_put() on <of_path_to_partition>
As it seems normal to get a reference on the OF node during the
of_property_for_each_string() that follows, add a call to
of_node_get() when relevant.

So far only flash devices could be described in DT regarding partitions
parsing. That could be done with "partitions" subnode and a proper
"compatible" string.
Some devices may use hierarchical (multi-level) layouts and may mix used
layouts (fixed and dynamic). Describing that in DT is done by specifying
"compatible" for DT-represented partition plus optionally more
properties and/or subnodes.
To support such layouts each DT partition has to be checked for
additional description.
Please note this implementation will work in parallel with support for
partition type specified for non-DT setups. That already works since

This commit slightly simplifies the code. Every parse_mtd_partitions()
caller (out of two existing ones) had to add partitions & cleanup parser
on its own. This moves that responsibility into the function.
That change also allows dropping struct mtd_partitions argument.
There is one minor behavior change caused by this cleanup. If
parse_mtd_partitions() fails to add partitions (add_mtd_partitions()
return an error) then mtd_device_parse_register() will still try to
add (register) fallback partitions. It's a real corner case affecting

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.

Some devices have partitions that are kind of containers with extra
subpartitions / volumes instead of e.g. a simple filesystem data. To
support such cases we need to first create normal flash device
partitions and then take care of these special ones.
It's very common case for home routers. Depending on the vendor there
are formats like TRX, Seama, TP-Link, WRGG & more. All of them are used
to embed few partitions into a single one / single firmware file.
Ideally all vendors would use some well documented / standardized format
like UBI (and some probably start doing so), but there are still
countless devices on the market using these poor vendor specific
formats.
This patch extends MTD subsystem by allowing to specify list of parsers
that should be tried for a given partition. Supporting such poor formats
is highly unlikely to be the top priority so these changes try to
minimize maintenance cost to the minimum. It reuses existing code for
these new parsers and just adds a one property and one new function.
This implementation requires setting partition parsers in a flash
parser. A proper change of bcm47xxpart will follow and in the future we
will hopefully also find a solution for doing it with ofpart
("fixed-partitions").

MLC and TLC NAND devices are using NAND cells exposing more than one bit,
but instead of attaching all the bits in a given cell to a single NAND
page, each bit is usually attached to a different page. This concept is
called 'page pairing', and has significant impacts on the flash storage
usage.
The main problem showed by these devices is that interrupting a page
program operation may not only corrupt the page we are programming
but also the page it is paired with, hence the need to expose to MTD
users the pairing scheme information.
The pairing APIs allows one to query pairing information attached to a
given page (here called wunit), or the other way around (the wunit
pointed by pairing information).
It also provides several helpers to help the conversion between absolute
offsets and wunits, and query the number of pairing groups.
