[PATCH v4 1/2] dt-bindings: mtd: partitions: Document new dynamic-partition nodes

[Ansuel Smith]

Document new dynamic-partition nodes used to provide an OF node for
partition registred at runtime by parsers. This is required for nvmem
system to declare and detect nvmem-cells.

With these special partitions, the reg / offset is not required.
The label binding is used to match the partition allocated by the
parser at runtime and the parser will provide reg and offset of the mtd.

NVMEM will use the data from the parser and provide the NVMEM cells
declared in the DTS, "connecting" the dynamic partition with a
static declaration of cells in them.

+description: |
+  This binding describes a single flash partition that is dynamically allocated
+  by a dedicated parser that is not a fixed-partition parser.
+
+  Each child of the parser partition node is then compared and if a match with
+  the provided label is found then the OF node is assigned.
+
+  These special partition definition can be used to give a dynamic partition
+  an OF node to declare NVMEM cells. An example is declaring the partition
+  label and all the NVMEM cells in it. The parser will detect the correct reg
+  and offset and the NVMEM will register the cells in it based on the data
+  extracted by the parser.
