Partition parsers can now provide an of_match_table to enable
flash<-->parser matching via device tree.

This support is currently limited to built-in parsers as it uses
request_module() and friends. This should be sufficient for most cases
though as compiling parsers as modules isn't a common choice.

This is based on Brian's patches:
[RFC PATCH 4/7] mtd: add of_match_mtd_parser() and of_mtd_match_mtd_parser() helpers
[RFC PATCH 6/7] RFC: mtd: partitions: enable of_match_table matching

V1: Put helpers in mtdpart.c instead of drivers/of/of_mtd.c
    Merge helpers into a single of_mtd_match_mtd_parser
V3: Add a simple comment to note we will need the best match in the future

I've pushed patches 1 and 2 to l2-mtd.git. I'm still looking at one
piece below:

I don't usually like sticking in TODOs for known issues like this on new
code. This one isn't really that hard to solve; there just aren't any
nice helpers for it. I see you even wrote up something on one of the
prior versions.

I might take a look myself at improving your other proposal. I'd rather
give that a chance than take this with a TODO.
