[PATCH V3 1/2] mtd: allow getting MTD device associated with a specific DT node

[Rafał Miłecki]

From: Rafał Miłecki <rafal at milecki.pl>

MTD subsystem API allows interacting with MTD devices (e.g. reading,
writing, handling bad blocks). So far a random driver could get MTD
device only by its name (get_mtd_device_nm()). This change allows
getting them also by a DT node.

This API is required for drivers handling DT defined MTD partitions in a
specific way (e.g. U-Boot (sub)partition with environment variables).

V3: First introduction of of_get_mtd_device_by_node()

mtd maintainers: please let know how would you like this patch
processed. Would that be OK for you to Review/Ack it and let it go
through NVMEM tree?
