You can definitely take the earlier series, they are fine and work on
their own. About this one, the four first patches are fine and won't be
changed, please keep them:
    lib: strto: parse all lowercase metric prefixes in ustrtoul[l]
    lib: strto: fix metric suffix parsing in strtoul[l]
    cmd: mtdparts: accept spi-nand devices
    cmd: mtdparts: remove mandatory 'mtdparts=' prefix

For the rest, as pointed by Boris, it would break UBI for certain users
so I want to make a last version (mostly code moves) next week to fit
it. I will resend a v9 only for patches:
    mtd: uclass: add probe function
    mtd: uclass: add a generic 'mtdparts' parser
    mtd: uclass: search for an equivalent MTD name with the mtdids
    mtd: mtdpart: implement proper partition handling
    cmd: mtd: add 'mtd' command
    cmd: mtdparts: try to probe the MTD devices as a fallback
    cmd: ubi: clean the partition handling
    cmd: mtdparts: describe as legacy

2018.11 is definitely the target.


Thanks,
Miquèl
