Until this change MTD subsystem supported handling partitions only with
MTD partitions parsers. That's a specific / limited API designed around
partitions.
Some MTD partitions may however require different handling. They may
contain specific data that needs to be parsed and somehow extracted. For
that purpose MTD subsystem should allow binding of standard platform
drivers.
An example can be U-Boot (sub)partition with environment variables.
There exist a "u-boot,env" DT binding for MTD (sub)partition that
requires an NVMEM driver.

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.
