    mtd: implement proper partition handling · 46b5889c
    Miquel Raynal authored
    Instead of collecting partitions in a flat list, create a hierarchy
    within the mtd_info structure: use a partitions list to keep track of
    the partitions of an MTD device (which might be itself a partition of
    another MTD device), a pointer to the parent device (NULL when the MTD
    device is the root one, not a partition).
    
    By also saving directly in mtd_info the offset of the partition, we
    can get rid of the mtd_part structure.
    
    While at it, be consistent in the naming of the mtd_info structures to
    ease the understanding of the new hierarchy: these structures are
    usually called 'mtd', unless there are multiple instances of the same
    structure. In this case, there is usually a parent/child bound so we
    will call them 'parent' and 'child'.
