kernel: use V10 of mtd patchset adding support for "compatible" string

In the commit bde5e7a632ef0 ("kernel: backport mtd implementation for
"compatible" in "partitions" subnode") patches that got accepted into
l2-mtd.git were backported to the kernels 4.9 and 4.14. Unfortunately
there was a regression report, patches were dropped and never reached
4.16.

This commit replaces these pseudo-backports with the latest version
that includes regression fix and futher changes that were requested.

-
-It works by looking for a matching parser for every string in the

-This support is currently limited to built-in parsers as it uses

+Subject: [PATCH V10 1/3] mtd: partitions: add of_match_table parser matching
+ for the "ofpart" type
+MIME-Version: 1.0
+Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
+Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
+
+In order to properly support compatibility strings as described in the
+bindings/mtd/partition.txt "ofpart" type should be treated as an
+indication for looking into OF. MTD should check "compatible" property
+and search for a matching parser rather than blindly trying the one
+supporting "fixed-partitions".
+
+It also means that existing "fixed-partitions" parser should get renamed
+to use a more meaningful name.
+
+This commit achievies that aim by introducing a new mtd_part_of_parse().
+It works by looking for a matching parser for every string in the
+"compatibility" property (starting with the most specific one).
+
+Please note that driver-specified parsers still take a precedence. It's
+assumed that driver providing a parser type has a good reason for that
+(e.g. having platform data with device-specific info). Also doing
+otherwise could break existing setups. The same applies to using default
+parsers (including "cmdlinepart") as some overwrite DT data with cmdline
+argument.
+
+Partition parsers can now provide an of_match_table to enable
+flash<-->parser matching via device tree as documented in the
+mtd/partition.txt.
+
+This support is currently limited to built-in parsers as it uses
+request_module() and friends. This should be sufficient for most cases
+though as compiling parsers as modules isn't a common choice.

+Subject: [PATCH V10 1/3] mtd: partitions: add of_match_table parser matching
+ for the "ofpart" type
+MIME-Version: 1.0
+Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
+Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
+
+In order to properly support compatibility strings as described in the
+bindings/mtd/partition.txt "ofpart" type should be treated as an
+indication for looking into OF. MTD should check "compatible" property
+and search for a matching parser rather than blindly trying the one
+supporting "fixed-partitions".
+
+It also means that existing "fixed-partitions" parser should get renamed
+to use a more meaningful name.
+
+This commit achievies that aim by introducing a new mtd_part_of_parse().
+It works by looking for a matching parser for every string in the
+"compatibility" property (starting with the most specific one).
+
+Please note that driver-specified parsers still take a precedence. It's
+assumed that driver providing a parser type has a good reason for that
+(e.g. having platform data with device-specific info). Also doing
+otherwise could break existing setups. The same applies to using default
+parsers (including "cmdlinepart") as some overwrite DT data with cmdline
+argument.
+
+Partition parsers can now provide an of_match_table to enable
+flash<-->parser matching via device tree as documented in the
+mtd/partition.txt.
+
+This support is currently limited to built-in parsers as it uses
+request_module() and friends. This should be sufficient for most cases
+though as compiling parsers as modules isn't a common choice.
