Huang Shijie <shijie8@gmail.com> explains:

Assume we have a 1GiB(8Gib) NAND chip, and we set the partitions
in the command line like this:
    #gpmi-nand:100m(boot),100m(kernel),1g(rootfs)

In this case, the partition truncating occurs. The current code will
get the following result:

     ----------------------------------
        root@freescale ~$ cat /proc/mtd
        dev:    size   erasesize  name
        mtd0: 06400000 00040000 "boot"
        mtd1: 06400000 00040000 "kernel"
     ----------------------------------

It is obvious that we lost the truncated partition `rootfs` which should
be 824MiB in this case.

Also, forbid 0-sized partitions.

Clean-up the driver a bit to make it easier to read and amend the coding style.
Mostly these are changes like:

if (a)
{
}

=>

if (a) {
}

Some extra blank lines were added.
Indentation was changed to use tabs instead of spaces.

This patch revises and fixes error handling in the command line mtd
partitions parser. Namely:
1. we ignored return code of 'mtdpart_setup_real()'.
2. instead of returning 0 for failure and 1 for success, teach
   'mtdpart_setup_real()' to return real error codes.

Fix up trivial conflicts:
 - arch/arm/mach-at91/board-usb-a9260.c
	Merged into board-usb-a926x.c
 - drivers/mtd/maps/lantiq-flash.c
	add_mtd_partitions -> mtd_device_register vs changed to use
	mtd_device_parse_register.

We are cleaning up the implicit presence of module.h that these
drivers are taking advantage of.  Fix them in advance of the
cleanup operation.

Encapsulate last MTD partition parser argument into a separate
structure. Currently it holds only 'origin' field for RedBoot parser,
but will be extended in future to contain at least device_node for OF
devices.

When a memory allocation fails, the kernel will print out a backtrace
automatically. These print statements are unnecessary.
