[PATCH 3/3] mtd: physmap_of: handle the new "partition-type"

[Linus Walleij]

We defined a new device tree binding for partitions, and if they
are found these need to be translated into a string array of
Linux partitions. Reuse the string-to-array split function and
support "arm,arm-flash-structure" by splitting "afs" into
{"afs", NULL} and passing that along.
