Hello Emil,

0xf00000 (15 MiB) is the value of the size-cell. gd25lq128d has 128 Mbit 
(=16 MiB).

Cf. the examples in 
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/mtd/partitions/fixed-partitions.yaml

The prior partition scheme had a partition 'reserved-data' also ending 
at 16 MiB. We don't change the expected size with the current patch.

Best regards

Heinrich
