Hi, As of commit e488ca9f8d4f62c2 ("doc: dt: mtd: partitions: add compatible property to "partitions" node"), which is in v4.4-rc6, the "partitions" subnode of an SPI FLASH device node must have a compatible property. The partitions are no longer detected if it is not present. However, several DTSes in -next have already been converted to the "partitions" subnode without "compatible" property, introduced by commits 5cfdedb7b9a0fe38 ("mtd: ofpart: move ofpart partitions to a dedicated dt node") and fe2585e9c29a650a ("doc: dt: mtd: support partitions in a special 'partitions' subnode"). Hence all of these are now broken in -next, and will be broken in upstream during the merge window. This series fixes all users in next-20151221. Tested on r8a7791/koelsch. Changes since v1: - Add Acked-by, - Fix new users in -next (kirkwood, ci20). Most of these are in arm-soc/for-next. Exceptions are kirkwood (in mvebu/for-next), and ci20 (in mips/mips-for-linux-next). Given we're late in the v4.4-rc cycle, perhaps it's easiest if the arm-soc maintainers take all applicable patches directly, bypassing the mvebu and shmobile maintainers? Thanks for queuing for v4.5!
