+- linux,part-probe: list of name as strings of the partition parser
+ which should be used to parse the partition table.
+ They will be tried in the specified ordering and
+ the next one will be used if the previous one
+ failed.
+
+ Example: linux,part-probe = "cmdlinepart", "ofpart";
+
+ This is also the default value, which will be used
+ if this attribute is not specified. It could be
+ that the flash driver in use overwrote the default
+ value and uses some other default.
+
+ Possible values are: bcm47xxpart, afs, ar7part,
+ ofoldpart, ofpart, bcm63xxpart, RedBoot, cmdlinepart
+
The ECC strength and ECC step size properties define the correction capability
of a controller. Together, they say a controller can correct "{strength} bit
errors per {size} bytes".

This moves the linux,part-probe device tree parsing code from physmap_of.c to mtdpart.c. Now all drivers can use this feature by just providing a reference to their device tree node in struct mtd_part_parser_data.
