Maybe you should split the patch:
1/ add core infrastructure
2/ remove open-coded version in drivers/mtd/maps/physmap_of.c
BTW, not sure the intermediate "mtd: physmap_of: use OF helpers
for reading strings" patch is really useful, since you move to the
common infrastructure here.
By following my suggestion you get rid of the dependency you have
between this series and patch "mtd: physmap_of: use OF helpers for
reading strings".
