Subject: mtd: nand: omap2: Fix partition creation via cmdline mtdparts
From: Roger Quadros <rogerq@xxxxxx>
commit 2d283ede59869159f4bb84ae689258c5caffce54 upstream.
commit c9711ec5250b ("mtd: nand: omap: Clean up device tree support")
caused the parent device name to be changed from "omap2-nand.0"
to "<base address>.nand" (e.g. 30000000.nand on omap3 platforms).
This caused mtd->name to be changed as well. This breaks partition
creation via mtdparts passed by u-boot as it uses "omap2-nand.0"
for the mtd-id.
Fix this by explicitly setting the mtd->name to "omap2-nand.<CS number>"
if it isn't already set by nand_set_flash_node(). CS number is the
NAND controller instance ID.
