[PATCH v2 0/6] mtd: partitions: support cleanup callback for parsers

[Brian Norris]

Hi,

Here's v2, which should address the comments made on v1.

Currently, we assume that all of the resources used by partition parsers can be
cleaned up with a single kfree(), but that can be burdensome to work around.
This series (particularly, patch 6) supports a cleanup() callback for parsers.

v1 -> v2:
 * add "mtd_partitions" struct to hold info about the array of parsed partitions
 * const-ify some arguments, which requires some small refactoring of the
   existing partitions parsers
 * remove the kmemdup() in mtd_device_parse_register()
 * provide default cleanup routine for parsers that don't have one (all
   parsers, ATM)
 * put more common logic in mtd_part_parser_cleanup(), to avoid making the
   caller worry about some of the reference counting
 * (hopefully) less convoluted error handling in mtd_device_parse_register()
