Rafał Miłecki 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.

The WRT1900AC among other Linksys routers uses a dual-firmware layout.
Dynamically rename the active partition to "ubi".
