Prepare to convert of_mtd_parse_partitions() to usual partitions parser:
1) Register ofpart parser
2) Internally don't use passed device for error printing
3) Add device_node to mtd_info struct
4) Move of_mtd_parse_partitions from __devinit to common text section
5) add ofpart to the default list of partition parsers

These ifdefs are not very nice, do you have ideas how to avoid them?
Ideally, mtdcore should not know or bother about OF things. All
OF-specific things should be done in ofpart.c...

I know they aren't nice. OTOH ofpart.c also seems a bit non-logical: one 
can have of node in the MTD, but doesn't (strangely) want to compile in 
ofpart.c. Of course I can add separate small of-handling functions (to 
do OF handling) to mtdcore.c to be replaced by empty functions in the 
absence of CONFIG_OF, but this also look like overhead for me.

How about turning the "origin" argument into "void *private" and
declaring that this is "parser-specific info". It then can become
"origin" for the RedBoot parser and the OF node pointer for the ofpart
parser?

And what will happen when ixp4xx (the only user of redboot "exception") 
will get OF support?

Hmm, may be introducing something like:

/**
 * struct mtd_part_parser_data - used to pass data to MTD partition parsers.
 * @origin: blah blah, RedBoot-specific
 * @of_node: points to the OF node describing the partitions, ofpart-specific
 */
struct mtd_part_parser_data {
	unsigned long origin;
	struct device_node *of_node;
};

And change the current "origin" argument with a
"struct mtd_part_parser_data *data" pointer?

Which of course can be NULL if there is nothing to say, as well as
of_node may be NULL, in which case the parsers which needs those things
can just return "no partitions" or something like that?

Anyway, if I understand correctly (correct me if I don't!) - this is
basically about passing parser-specific information to parsers. And if
this is right, your way of adding this parser-specific information to
'struct mtd_info *' is bad, and we need to invent something better.

Right?
