kernel: deprecate support for the generic "linux,part-probe" DT binding

Browse Source 
It has been rejected upstream and instead a nice/more generic solution
has been implemented. It's possible now to describe partitions format
using "compatible" DT string.

No OpenWrt target uses "linux,part-probe" anymore, leave it only in case
some forks need it. It will be dropped with support for new kernels.

THIS METHOD HAS BEEN DEPRECATED
Linux supports "compatible" property in the "partitions" subnode now. It
should be used to specify partitions format (and trigger proper parser
usage) if needed.
