Hi Christian,

Thanks for working on this, it will be useful for me as well.
Some comments inside.

Should be "device tree partition support".

The corresponding mtd ofpart parser validates a_cells + s_cells against
len, like this:

	if (len / 4 != a_cells + s_cells) {
		pr_debug("%s: ofpart partition %pOF (%pOF) error parsing reg property.\n",
			 master->name, pp,
			 mtd_node);
		goto ofpart_fail;
	}

I think you should do it here as well.

Where is this constraint coming from? I would put the partitions in
order into the device tree as well, but the binding doesn't enforce it
and I see no reason to do so.

How about (offset % SECTOR_SIZE) or (offset & (SECTOR_SIZE - 1))? Might
be a bit more intuitive to read.

of_node_put(disk_np) missing here before return.

Other partition parsers just silently ignore the partitions
exceeding state->limit instead of throwing an error. Maybe do the same
here?

You should put the nodes for the non error case as well.
