[PATCH 1/1] mtd: m25p80 -- parse partitions from OF tree

[Jonas Bonn]

It needs to be possible to define the partitions of an MTD device from an OF
devicetree.  This patch adds a call to of_mtd_parse_partitions if:

i)   there are no commandline partitions defined
ii)  there are no partitions set up by platform_data
iii) and an of_node is present on the device

This permits the following devicetree structure:

flash0: mtd@0 {
	compatible = "st,m25p10";
	reg = <0>;
	spi-max-frequency = <100000000>;

	#address-cells = <1>;
	#size-cells = <1>;

	partition@0 {
		label = "bootloader";
		reg = <0x00000000 0x00018000>;
		read-only;
	}

	partition@18000 {
		label = "data";
		reg = <0x00018000 0x00008000>;
	};
};

Thanks Jonas.  I've actually already got a patch that does the exact
ame thing in my private tree.  However, it requires an ugly #ifdef
statement because the of_node pointer is not available when CONFIG_OF
is not selected.  Before I commit to this patch, I want to see if I
can come up with a cleaner way for drivers to reference of_node when
CONFIG_OF is not set.  I could use a macro, but I'd rather not have to
wrap every reference with a macro.

Regardless, it is on my radar, and I hope to settle on a solution
sometime in the next week.
