Subject: [PATCH] mtd: parsers: ofpart: limit parsing of deprecated DT syntax
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

For backward compatibility ofpart still supports the old syntax like:
spi-flash@0 {
	compatible = "jedec,spi-nor";
	reg = &lt;0x0&gt;;

	partition@0 {
		label = "bootloader";
		reg = &lt;0x0 0x100000&gt;;
	};
};
(without "partitions" subnode).

There is no reason however to support nested partitions without a clear
"compatible" string like:
partitions {
	compatible = "fixed-partitions";
	#address-cells = &lt;1&gt;;
	#size-cells = &lt;1&gt;;

	partition@0 {
		label = "bootloader";
		reg = &lt;0x0 0x100000&gt;;

		partition@0 {
			label = "config";
			reg = &lt;0x80000 0x80000&gt;;
		};
	};
};
(we never officially supported or documented that).

Make sure ofpart doesn't attempt to parse above.
