[PATCH] mtd: spi-nor: add cmdlineparts to intel-spi

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

On Intel platforms, the usable SPI area is located several
MiB in from the start, to leave room for descriptors and
the Management Engine binary. Further, not all the remaining
space can be used, as the last 16 MiB contains firmware.

To make the SPI usable for mtdblock and other devices,
it is necessary to enable command line partitions so the
middle usable region can be specified.

Add a part_probes array which includes only "cmdelineparts",
and change to mtd_device_parse_register to use this part_probes.
