AFAIK compatible should (as much as possible :-)) only be used to encode
HW type, and here you're using it to expose what you want to do with
your data in Linux.

Ditto.

Since you have to patch your DTs anyway, how about putting your
partitions in a subnode and patch the ofpart code to parse this subnode
if it is present (see the following patch).

Best Regards,

Subject: [PATCH] mtd: ofpart: search for a partitions node

The DT partition parser currently assumes the parition definitions are
directly stored in the MTD device node, but sometime this device node
contains other child nodes used to store device specific information.

Search for a partitions subnode containing the partition definitions,
if it is not there, parse the definitions in the device node.
