	Hi,

As of commit e488ca9f8d4f62c2 ("doc: dt: mtd: partitions: add compatible
property to "partitions" node"), the "partitions" subnode of an SPI
FLASH device node must have a compatible property. The partitions are no
longer detected if it is not present.

I marked this series as "RFC", as the abovementioned commit is not yet
upstream. Ideally, the users should be fixed first, to avoid breakage.

Tested on r8a7791/koelsch.

Thanks!

I'd differ on the last sentence. It's more important to straighten out
the release features for 4.4 than to make sure that linux-next has
perfect DTS files. So I'll submit whenever ready :)

FWIW, I plan to submit my pullreq this week, hopefully by
end-of-Wednesday. (There are other potential MTD fixes that haven't
stabilized. I may just send them separately.)

Regards,
Brian

If the DTS changes go in first, bisectability is preserved.

The files you are fixing are not converted in mainline yet, are they?

Are you asking me to delay fixing the DT binding until 4.5, just because
your for-next branches can't be fixed? IOW, you want me to release the
bad DT binding for a whole cycle?

Sorry, too long after my morning coffee...
Yes, you're right, they won't be in mainline before v4.5-rc1.

When I noticed the problem, I didn't see the cause immediately, so I did a
bisect. Which didn't help much, as the problem only occurs when merging
l2-mtd/master...

Scrap, they can't go in first...

No, please don't delay it to 4.5.

But I'm afraid the for-next branches can't be fixed, as the DTS updates been in
arm-soc/for-next for a while. I don't think the arm-soc maintainers can be
bothered redoing all their merges, so we'll have to live with it...
