[PATCH v5 4/4] mtd: Add driver for concatenating devices

[Miquel Raynal <miquel.raynal@bootlin.com>]

Introduce a generic way to define concatenated MTD devices. This may
be very useful in the case of ie. stacked SPI-NOR. Partitions to
concatenate are described in an additional property of the partitions
subnode:

        flash0 {
                partitions {
                        compatible = "fixed-partitions";
                        part-concat = <&flash0_part1>, <&flash1_part0>;

			part0@0 {
				label = "part0_0";
				reg = <0x0 0x800000>;
			};

			flash0_part1: part1@800000 {
				label = "part0_1";
				reg = <0x800000 0x800000>;
			};
                };
        };

        flash1 {
                partitions {
                        compatible = "fixed-partitions";

			flash0_part1: part1@0 {
				label = "part1_0";
				reg = <0x0 0x800000>;
			};

			part0@800000 {
				label = "part1_1";
				reg = <0x800000 0x800000>;
			};
                };
        };

This is useful for boards where memory range has been extended with
the use of multiple flash chips as memory banks of a single MTD
device, with partitions spanning chip borders.
