[PATCH 1/3] mtd: core: add get_mtd_device_by_node

[Bernhard Frauendienst <kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Add function to retrieve a mtd device by its OF node. Since drivers can
assign arbitrary names to mtd devices in the absence of a label
property, there is no other reliable way to retrieve a mtd device for a
given OF node.
