This prepares mtd subsystem for the new feature: subpartitions. In some cases flash device partition can be a container with extra subpartitions (volumes). So far there was a flat structure implemented. One master (flash device) could be partitioned into few partitions. Every partition got its master and it was enough to get things running. To support subpartitions we need to store pointer to the parent for each partition. This is required to implement more natural tree structure and handle all recursion and offsets calculation. To make code consistent this patch renamed "master" to the "parent" in places where we can be dealing with subpartitions.

README
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
