mtd: partitions: use DT info for parsing partitions with "compatible" prop

Browse source 
So far only flash devices could be described in DT regarding partitions
parsing. That could be done with "partitions" subnode and a proper
"compatible" string.

Some devices may use hierarchical (multi-level) layouts and may mix used
layouts (fixed and dynamic). Describing that in DT is done by specifying
"compatible" for DT-represented partition plus optionally more
properties and/or subnodes.

To support such layouts each DT partition has to be checked for
additional description.

Please note this implementation will work in parallel with support for
partition type specified for non-DT setups. That already works since
commit 1a0915be19 ("mtd: partitions: add support for partition
parsers").
