It's meant to provide upstream support for mtd & NVMEM. It's required e.g. for reading MAC address from mtd partition content. It seems to be in a final shape so it's worth testing. Signed-off-by: Rafał Miłecki <rafal@milecki.pl>

Subject: [PATCH] mtd: parsers: ofpart: limit parsing of deprecated DT syntax
 | 
						|
MIME-Version: 1.0

						|
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8

For backward compatibility ofpart still supports the old syntax like:
 | 
						|
spi-flash@0 {
 | 
						|
	compatible = "jedec,spi-nor";
 | 
						|
	reg = <0x0>;
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
	partition@0 {
 | 
						|
		label = "bootloader";
 | 
						|
		reg = <0x0 0x100000>;
 | 
						|
	};
 | 
						|
};
 | 
						|
(without "partitions" subnode).
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
There is no reason however to support nested partitions without a clear
 | 
						|
"compatible" string like:
 | 
						|
partitions {
 | 
						|
	compatible = "fixed-partitions";
 | 
						|
	#address-cells = <1>;
 | 
						|
	#size-cells = <1>;
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
	partition@0 {
 | 
						|
		label = "bootloader";
 | 
						|
		reg = <0x0 0x100000>;
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
		partition@0 {
 | 
						|
			label = "config";
 | 
						|
			reg = <0x80000 0x80000>;
 | 
						|
		};
 | 
						|
	};
 | 
						|
};
 | 
						|
(we never officially supported or documented that).
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Make sure ofpart doesn't attempt to parse above.
