[PATCH 01/18] mtd: abstract last MTD partition parser argument

[Artem Bityutskiy]

I see a lot of checkpatch.pl warnings, could you please take a look?

Also, my gcc produces warnings with this patch because you have not
fixed up MPT parsers, e.g., like this:

Nitpick, but could you call this MTD partition parser-specific data
instead.

And this.

Could you please embrace the origin field into an anonymous union - once
we add the of_node field they do not have to be at separate addresses. I
mean:

struct mtd_part_parser_data {
	union {
		unsigned long origin;
		struct device_node *of_node;
	};
};
