This patchset provides a proper support for flash device DT node with
"partitions" subnode using "compatible" property. It's already
documented in the: Documentation/devicetree/bindings/mtd/partition.txt

We believed that version 7 was ready to go, but soon after landing in
the linux-next we got a regression report from Peter. Later versions
takes a safe path by:
1) Respecting parsers order as specified in the default/driver-provided
   list.
2) Looking at "compatible" property only when "ofpart" type gets
   speciied.

Version 9 was successfully tested by Peter and version 10 just squashes
two commits into a one.

I double-checked the code and cannot think of any regression this could
cause. I also hope this design (roughly discussed with Boris) can be
acceptable for the mtd subsystem.

The most important patch from this patchset (1/3) was reviewed by Rob in
the
[PATCH V6 1/2] mtd: partitions: add of_match_table parser matching
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/comment/1831551/

If possible this is a 4.17 material.

Rafał Miłecki (3):
  mtd: partitions: add of_match_table parser matching for the "ofpart"
    type
  mtd: rename "ofpart" parser to "fixed-partitions" as it fits it better
  mtd: ofpart: add of_match_table with "fixed-partitions"
