This reverts commit 753395ea1e45c724150070b5785900b6a44bd5fb.

It introduced a boot regression on colibri-imx7, and potentially any
other i.MX7 boards with MTD partition list generated into the fdt by
U-Boot.

While the commit we are reverting here is not obviously wrong, it fixes
only a dt binding checker warning that is non-functional, while it
introduces a boot regression and there is no obvious fix ready.

As discussed in the above links, boot is broken on imx7 Colibri boards,
this revert was the most quick and straightforward fix we agreed upon
with the hope (~ duty?) it would make it in v6.1. Any chance you could
pick this up rapidly and forward it to Linus? Or should we involve
him directly (Thorsten?).
It seems neither Francesco nor me agree that this is the right approach 
and rather the fix should be the two-liner change to the OF partition 
parser, so maybe this should not be picked ?
