* WARN (in some cases) when a struct mtd_info is registered multiple times;
in the past this was "supported", but it's still error prone for future
development. There's only one ugly case of this left in the tree (that
we're aware of) and the owners are aware of the problems there.

NOTE: the (potential) deadlock was introduced in a for-stable patch. This

* Set MTD parent device correctly throughout the tree, so the tree structure
appears correctly in sysfs; many drivers were missing this (soft)
requirement
* Move device tree partitions (ofpart) into a dedicated 'partitions' subnode;
this helps to disambiguate whether a node is a partition or some other
auxiliary data
