    kernel: mtd: parser: cmdline: Fix parsing of part-names with colons
    
    Some devices (especially QCA ones) are already using hardcoded partition
    names with colons in it. The OpenMesh A62 for example provides following
    mtd relevant information via cmdline:
    
      root=31:11 mtdparts=spi0.0:256k(0:SBL1),128k(0:MIBIB),384k(0:QSEE),64k(0:CDT),64k(0:DDRPARAMS),64k(0:APPSBLENV),512k(0:APPSBL),64k(0:ART),64k(custom),64k(0:KEYS),0x002b0000(kernel),0x00c80000(rootfs),15552k(inactive) rootfsname=rootfs rootwait
    
    The change to split only on the last colon between mtd-id and partitions
    will cause newpart to see following string for the first partition:
    
      KEYS),0x002b0000(kernel),0x00c80000(rootfs),15552k(inactive)
    
    Such a partition list cannot be parsed and thus the device fails to boot.
    
    Avoid this behavior by making sure that the start of the first part-name
    ("(") will also be the last byte the mtd-id split algorithm is using for
    its colon search.

+Subject: [PATCH RFC] mtd: parser: cmdline: Fix parsing of part-names with colons
+
+Some devices (especially QCA ones) are already using hardcoded partition
+names with colons in it. The OpenMesh A62 for example provides following
+mtd relevant information via cmdline:
+
+  root=31:11 mtdparts=spi0.0:256k(0:SBL1),128k(0:MIBIB),384k(0:QSEE),64k(0:CDT),64k(0:DDRPARAMS),64k(0:APPSBLENV),512k(0:APPSBL),64k(0:ART),64k(custom),64k(0:KEYS),0x002b0000(kernel),0x00c80000(rootfs),15552k(inactive) rootfsname=rootfs rootwait
+
+The change to split only on the last colon between mtd-id and partitions
+will cause newpart to see following string for the first partition:
+
+  KEYS),0x002b0000(kernel),0x00c80000(rootfs),15552k(inactive)
+
+Such a partition list cannot be parsed and thus the device fails to boot.
+
+Avoid this behavior by making sure that the start of the first part-name
+("(") will also be the last byte the mtd-id split algorithm is using for
+its colon search.
