We have many parser that register mtd partitions at runtime. One example is the cmdlinepart or the smem-part parser where the compatible is defined in the dts and the partitions gets detected and registered by the parser. This is problematic for the NVMEM subsystem that requires an OF node to detect NVMEM cells. To fix this problem, introduce an additional logic that will try to assign an OF node to the MTD if declared. On MTD addition, it will be checked if the MTD has an OF node and if not declared will check if a partition with the same label / node name is declared in DTS. If an exact match is found, the partition dynamically allocated by the parser will have a connected OF node. The NVMEM subsystem will detect the OF node and register any NVMEM cells declared statically in the DTS.

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.
