[PATCH] MTD ofpart: Check availability of reg property instead of name property

[PATCH] MTD ofpart: Check availability of reg property instead of name property

[Benjamin Krill]

The previous implementation breaks the dts binding "mtd-physmap.txt". This
implementation fixes the issue by checking the availability of the reg
property instead of the name property.

David,

Can you look at pushing this for .31 if possible.  We have a # of  
device trees in the kernel which have "broken" functionality because  
of this.
