    Pull MTD updates from Brian Norris:
     "Common MTD:
    
       - 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"
