kernel: backport mtd implementation for "compatible" in "partitions" subnode

This backports upstream support for "compatible" DT property set for the
"partitions" subnode of flash node. It allows specifying how partitions
should be created/parsed. Right now only "fixed-partitions" is
supported.

It should eventually replace our downstream "linux,part-probe" solution.

+Subject: [PATCH] mtd: ofpart: add of_match_table with "fixed-partitions"
+MIME-Version: 1.0
+Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
+Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
+
+This allows using this parser with any flash driver that takes care of
+setting of_node (using mtd_set_of_node helper) correctly. Up to now
+support for "fixed-partitions" DT compatibility string was working only
+with flash drivers that were specifying "ofpart" (manually or by letting
+mtd use the default set of parsers).
+
+This matches existing bindings documentation.
