And here is the changelog:

Changes since v2:
=================
* Added a patch to rename __del_mtd_partition() into
  del_mtd_partition_locked().
* Fixed bugs in the implementation.
* Added a union into the mtd_info structure instead of several new
  entries, either we are on the master ("root") MTD device and we use
  the master's properties, or we are a partition and the partition
  properties will be used.

Changes since v1:
=================
* Commit name changed "proper partition handling" -> "rework partition
  tree".
* Update mtd_get_device_size() to support recursive partitioning.
* Remove part_*() helpers, update the corresponding mtd_*() helpers to
  handle the partitions themselves.
* Drop the global partitions lock, add a lock per mtd_info but only use
  the root one to protect against partitions updates.
