* Add Kconfig option for keeping both the 'master' and 'partition' MTDs
registered as devices. This would really make a better default if we could
do it over, as it allows a lot more flexibility in (1) determining the flash
topology of the system from user-space and (2) adding temporary partitions
at runtime (ioctl(BLKPG)). Unfortunately, this would possibly cause
user-space breakage, as it will cause renumbering of the /dev/mtdX devices.
We'll see if we can change this in the future, as there have already been a
few people looking for this feature, and I know others have just been
working around our current limitations instead of fixing them this way.
* Along with the previous change, add some additional information to sysfs, so
user-space can read the offset of each partition within its master device
SPI NOR:
* add new device tree compatible binding to represent the mostly-compatible
class of SPI NOR flash which can be detected by their extended JEDEC ID
bytes, cutting down the duplication of our ID tables
* misc. new IDs
Various other miscellaneous fixes and changes
