Subject: [PATCH] mtd: fix 'part' field data corruption in mtd_info

Commit 46b5889cc2c5 ("mtd: implement proper partition handling")
started using "mtd_get_master_ofs()" in mtd callbacks to determine
memory offsets by means of 'part' field from mtd_info, what previously
was smashed accessing 'master' field in the mtd_set_dev_defaults() method.
That provides wrong offset what causes hardware access errors.

Just make 'part', 'master' as separate fields, rather than using
union type to avoid 'part' data corruption when mtd_set_dev_defaults()
is called.
