Hm, you should use a more generic name, ofpart of the linux MTD
DT partition parser, but another operating system might decide to name
it otherwise. I think "partitions" is more appropriate.

Do we really want to complain here. I mean, a lot of users do not need
to define their partition in a different node.

Check your indentation (checkpatch should complain here).

Ditto.

The above changes have nothing to do with the description you gave in
your commit message.

Are you sure you can safely remove this check?
