mtd: ofpart: grab device tree node directly from master device node
It seems more logical to use a device node directly associated with the MTD master device (i.e., mtd->dev.of_node field) rather than requiring auxiliary partition parser information to be passed in by the driver in a separate struct. This patch supports the mtd->dev.of_node field and deprecates the parser data 'of_node' field Driver conversions may now follow. Additional side benefit to assigning mtd->dev.of_node rather than using parser data: the driver core will automatically create a device -> node symlink for us.
