I did miss that, indeed. Thanks for the heads up.

So, the "old partitions being considered as nvmem cells" is not really
a problem, because those parts shouldn't be referenced.
This leaves us with the config->force_compat_check topic, which I'd
like to have to ensure that nvmem cells under MTD nodes actually have
compatible = "nvmem-cell" and prevent people from inadvertently
omitting this prop.

And of course, we need Rob's approval on this new binding :-).
