[PATCH AUTOSEL 4.19 193/206] mtd: parser: cmdline: Support MTD names containing one or more colons

[Sasha Levin]

From: Boris Brezillon <boris.brezillon at collabora.com>

[ Upstream commit eb13fa0227417e84aecc3bd9c029d376e33474d3 ]

Looks like some drivers define MTD names with a colon in it, thus
making mtdpart= parsing impossible. Let's fix the parser to gracefully
handle that case: the last ':' in a partition definition sequence is
considered instead of the first one.
