From: Rafał Miłecki <rafal@milecki.pl>

In order to properly support compatibility strings as described in the
bindings/mtd/partition.txt "ofpart" type should be treated as an
indication for looking into OF. MTD should check "compatible" property
and search for a matching parser rather than blindly trying a one for
the "fixed-partitions".

This also means that existing parser should get renamed into a more
meaningful one.
