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

Good idea, but

Could all the OF-specific things be done in the ofpart.c ?

And designe-wise this does not look like a good idea to have such fields
in mtd_info ... Who initializes this "node" field?

Do not apply this and further changes so far - I had some questions.

Anyway, your series consists of as set of logical steps, which is really
nice, so let's finish with the first cmdline consolidation step, and
then move on.

Answering both of your questions here:
My idea is to have an of node connected to mtd device, if there is any.
It can be used by ofpart.c, ofoldpart.c (extract from physmap_of),
maybe some other parsers/drivers/etc.

The field is populated by the creator of mtd_info. Then the function
dedicated to registration of the mtd should get the node and other 
functions can just use it. Maybe this should be moved to add_mtd_device,
but this shouldn't be handled in ofpart.c

Another way can be to populate ->node pointer before parsing,
then drop it at the end of parsing/registration. Thus we won't have to
handle getting/putting the of node, but it won't be available during
mtd lifecycle.

I just think the connection should be different. Probably the best would
be to have an OF-specific object (some struct of_info) containing struct
mtd_info inside, and then OF code can use container_of().

I'm still not convinced we need ofoldpart.c - that is a small piece of
cade which can be put to ofpart.c.

BTW: what about fixing order of parsing to:
cmdlinepart,
RedBoot,
afs,
ofpart/ofoldpart,
platform-default-hook.

This will allow me to drop "parse order" options from all relevant 
functions.

That will be agains current linux coding practices. E.g. check the gpio, 
i2c, etc. code. All add device_node field to existing structs.

Agreed.
