[PATCH] mtd: parsers: Support '[]' for id in mtdparts

["Ronald G. Minnich" <rminnich@xxxxxxxxx>]

The MTD subsystem can support command-line defined partitions
for one or more MTD devices.

The format is:
 * mtdparts=<mtddef>[;<mtddef]
 * <mtddef>  := <mtd-id>:<partdef>[,<partdef>]

The ':' separates the id from the partdef.

On PCI MTD devices, the name can be the PCI slot name,
e.g. 0000:00:1f.5. There are two ':' in the name alone.

Change the definition of <mtd-id> so it can be bracketed
with '[]' and hence contain any number of ':'.
An opening '[' must be matched with a closing ']'.
The ':' continues to separate the mtd-id from the <partdef>.
