In preparation for removing MTD partitioning from the DTs and moving
it over to kernel command line partition parsing, enable the support
for kernel command line MTD partition parsing.

The argument for not having MTD partitions in the DT is the same as
for not having hard drive partitions in DT, neither describes the
hardware itself, so it shouldn't be in the DT. Furthermore, kernel
command line MTD partition passing allows greater flexibility in
case someone decided to repartition the flash, which is well in the
realm of possibility with these systems.

Makes a lot of sense to me.
