[PATCH 2/2] mtd: core: set ROOT_DEV for partitions marked as root devices in DT

From: Rafał Miłecki <rafal at milecki.pl>

This adds support for "linux,root-device" binding that is used to mark
root device MTD partition. It's useful for devices using device tree
that don't have bootloader passing root info in cmdline.
