    Documentation: ABI: mtd: describe "offset" more precisely
    
    So far Linux supported only two levels of MTD devices so we didn't need
    a very precise description for this sysfs file. With commit
    97519dc52b44a ("mtd: partitions: add support for subpartitions") there
    is support for a tree structure so we should have more precise
    description. Using "parent" and "flash device" makes it more accurate.
