Document new partition nodes that declare only the label/name instead of the reg used to provide an OF node for partition registred at runtime by parsers. This is required for nvmem system to declare and detect nvmem-cells. With these special partitions, the reg / offset is not required and a 'partition-' prefix is needed. The node name with the 'partition-' prefix stripped, is used to match the partition allocated by the parser at runtime and the parser will provide reg and offset of the mtd. If the partition to match contains invalid char for a node name, the label binding can be used to declare the partition name. NVMEM will use the data from the parser and provide the NVMEM cells declared in the DTS, "connecting" the dynamic partition with a static declaration of cells in them.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
