The following commit in linux-next appears to be the culprit:
commit 1a6bc893044b961caae1c5a9c6c2065e608da427

mtd: prepare to convert of_mtd_parse_partitions to partition parser
Prepare to convert of_mtd_parse_partitions() to usual partitions parser:
1) Register ofpart parser
2) Internally don't use passed device for error printing
3) Add device_node to mtd_part_parser_data struct
4) Move of_mtd_parse_partitions from __devinit to common text section
5) add ofpart to the default list of partition parsers

It adds a module_init() call to ofpart.c which does not work the way
that ofpart.c is linked to mtdcore.o. Seems like that commit series
still needs work.
