From: Francesco Dolcini <francesco.dolcini@xxxxxxxxxxx>
Add a fallback mechanism to handle the case in which #size-cells is set
to <0>. According to the DT binding the nand controller node should have
set it to 0 and this is not compatible with the legacy way of
specifying partitions directly as child nodes of the nand-controller node.
This fixes a boot failure on colibri-imx7 and potentially other boards.
