7a7b2fd809 kernel: add the latest mtd patch extending ofpart parser
This adds the latest version of ofpart commit. It hopefully
1. Doesn't break compilation
2. Doesn't break partitioning
(this time).

It's required to implement fixed partitioning with some quirks. It's
required by bcm53xx, bcm4908, kirkwood, lantiq and mvebu.

ac7d45b5e7 kernel: backport "ofpart" mtd parser upstream quirks support
This adds quirks support to the "ofpart" parser. It's required to
support fixed partitions that require some extra logic.

Right now only BCM4908 binding is supported (BCM4908 requires detecting
currently used "firmware" partition).

4661b05390 kernel: properly insert local mtd partition parsers
Between 4.19 and 5.4, the kernel moved the partition parsers into
the parsers subdirectory. This led to some necessary rebasing of
our local patches for parsers, which partially has been performed
without caring about where the code was inserted.

This commit tries to adjust our local patches so that parsers are
inserted at the "proper" positions with respect to alphabetic sorting
(if possible). Thus, the commit is cosmetic.

While this might look useless now, it will make life easier when
adding other parsers in the future or for rebasing on kernel changes.

51a7184a7d generic: fix patching error on kernel 5.4
Fixes a build error seen when applying the kernel patches.

This was missed as 5.4 is currently set as testing kernel
while the main kernel being used is 4.19
