934edb764d kernel: don't auto-split "firmware" if it has "compatible" DT property
If "compatible" is being used that should trigger a proper parser
directly. It's more reliable thanks to not trying parsers one by one. In
such case partition shouldn't be split automatically to avoid parsing it
twice.

4d0431801d kernel: don't export parse_mtd_partitions_by_type() in 4.9 and 4.14
That function isn't used anywhere out of the mtdpart.c & can be static.

2a598bbaa3 kernel: backport mtd support for subpartitions in DT
This is a new & warm feature that allows nesting partiitons in DT and
mixing their types (e.g. static vs. dynamic). It's very useful for
boards that have most partitions static but some of them require extra
parsing (e.g. a "firmware" partition).

It's required to successfully backport support for new devices using
that new syntax in their DT files.

Since brcm63xx has a custom alternative patch the upstream one is being
reverted for it. The plan is to make brcm63xx use the upstream
implementation.

ac9bcefa3b kernel: use V10 of mtd patchset adding support for "compatible" string
In the commit bde5e7a632 ("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.

bde5e7a632 kernel: backport mtd implementation for "compatible" in "partitions" subnode
This backports upstream support for "compatible" DT property set for the
"partitions" subnode of flash node. It allows specifying how partitions
should be created/parsed. Right now only "fixed-partitions" is
supported.

It should eventually replace our downstream "linux,part-probe" solution.
