[PATCH 2/12] neo1973: S3C2410 NAND commandline partition support

[PATCH] support mtd NAND commandline partitions for S3C2410

This patch adds support for the mtd NAND core standard method of passing
partition table information from the bootloader into the kernel by using
the kernel commandline.

The board specific code can still manually override and provide a fixed
partition table, so this patch will behave backwards compatible.
