Subject: [PATCH 2/3] mtd: part: add generic parsing of linux,part-probe

This moves the linux,part-probe device tree parsing code from
physmap_of.c to mtdpart.c. Now all drivers can use this feature by just
providing a reference to their device tree node in struct
mtd_part_parser_data.

+- linux,part-probe: list of name as strings of the partition parser
+		    which should be used to parse the partition table.
+		    They will be tried in the specified ordering and
+		    the next one will be used if the previous one
+		    failed.
+
+		    Example: linux,part-probe = "cmdlinepart", "ofpart";
+
+		    This is also the default value, which will be used
+		    if this attribute is not specified. It could be
+		    that the flash driver in use overwrote the default
+		    value and uses some other default.
+
+		    Possible values are: bcm47xxpart, afs, ar7part,
+		    ofoldpart, ofpart, bcm63xxpart, RedBoot, cmdlinepart
+
 The ECC strength and ECC step size properties define the correction capability
 of a controller. Together, they say a controller can correct "{strength} bit
 errors per {size} bytes".
