Support for this property has been introduced in 2010 with commit
9d5da3a9b849 ("mtd: extend physmap_of to let the device tree specify the
parition probe") but it was never documented. Fix this by adding a
proper description and example.

+- linux,part-probe: if present, this property should contain a list of strings
+ with partition probes to be used for the flash device. A role of partition
+ probe (parser) is to read/construct partition table and register found
+ partitions. Getting partition table may be platform or device specific so
+ various devices may use various Linux drivers for this purpose.

Example:

flash@0 {
label = "System-firmware";
+ linux,part-probe = "cmdlinepart", "ofpart";
