MTD update for 4.4-rc6:

Browse source 
A little bit of a last-minute change for the device tree "fixed partition"
 binding. This is needed because we might want to reuse the 'partitions' subnode
 for other sorts of partitioning descriptions -- e.g., for describing which
 on-flash partition format(s) might be used on the system.
 
 Also tone down a warning message, since it is probably going to show up on a
 lot of systems where it should just be ignored.

Pull MTD fixes from Brian Norris:
 "I was holding out on this pull request for a bit, since there are a
  few other small issues being discussed that look like 4.4-rc
  regressions.  Hopefully I can get those stabilized soon, but these are
  ready at any rate:

   - A little bit of a last-minute change for the device tree "fixed
     partition" binding.  This is needed because we might want to reuse
     the 'partitions' subnode for other sorts of partitioning
     descriptions -- e.g., for describing which on-flash partition
     format(s) might be used on the system.

   - Also tone down a warning message, since it is probably going to
     show up on a lot of systems where it should just be ignored"

as RedBoot.
The partition table should be a subnode of the mtd node and should be named
'partitions'. Partitions are defined in subnodes of the partitions node.
'partitions'. This node should have the following property:
- compatible : (required) must be "fixed-partitions"
Partitions are then defined in subnodes of the partitions node.
For backwards compatibility partitions as direct subnodes of the mtd device are
supported. This use is discouraged.
