Previously, the OF node defining the IFC NAND controller was being
passed to mtd_device_parse_register(), not the node defining the
partitions. This resulted in no OF-defined partitions being created.

This driver probes on "fsl,ifc-nand", not "fsl,ifc".  So how is it
getting the controller node?

What does the device tree look like in which you're seeing this happen?

This is the node that is defined in my T1042 device tree:

		nand0@4,0 {
			#address-cells = <0>;
			#size-cells = <0>;
			compatible = "fsl,ifc-nand";
                        reg = <4 0x0 0x040000>;

			nand@0 {
				#address-cells = <1>;
				#size-cells = <2>;
				compatible = "micron,mt29f32g08";

				partition@0 {
					label = "NAND Filesystem";
					reg = <0 0x1 0x00000000>;
				};
			};
		};

It is based on a node used previously with the fsl_upm NAND driver on
a P5020:

		upm@4,0 {
			#address-cells = <0>;
			#size-cells = <0>;
			compatible = "fsl,upm-nand";
                        reg = <4 0x0 0x080000>;
                        fsl,upm-addr-offset = <0x10>;
                        fsl,upm-cmd-offset = <0x08>;
                        fsl,upm-wait-flags = <0x1>;
                        chip-delay = <50>;

			nand@0 {
				#address-cells = <1>;
				#size-cells = <2>;
				compatible = "micron,mt29f32g08";

				partition@0 {
					label = "NAND Filesystem";
					reg = <0 0x1 0x00000000>;
				};
			};
		};

The patch that I submitted is based on code from the fsl_upm driver:

	flash_np = of_get_next_child(upm_np, NULL);
	if (!flash_np)
		return -ENODEV;

[snip]

	ppdata.of_node = flash_np;
	ret = mtd_device_parse_register(&fun->mtd, NULL, &ppdata, NULL, 0);
err:
	of_node_put(flash_np);

This is wrong.  You shouldn't have a separate nand@0 node.

Your patch will break partition detection on all of the existing IFC
device trees.

Why would you base it on a upm node rather than on an ifc node, or on
the IFC binding document
(Documentation/devicetree/bindings/memory-controllers/fsl/ifc.txt)?

Ah, I was under the wrong impression that there was a common MTD
partitioning format. I didn't realize it was defined by each
driver. Thanks for clearing that up.

The partition nodes should take the same form regardless of controller
type, but not the node that contains the partition nodes.
