Subject: [RFC PATCH 1/2] dt-bindings: mtd: Add bindings for describing concatinated MTD devices

This approach was suggested by Rob [1] during a discussion on Miquel's
initial approach [2] to extend the MTD-CONCAT driver to support stacked
memories.
Define each flash node separately with its respective partitions, and add
a 'concat-parts' binding to link the partitions of the two flash nodes that
need to be concatenated.

flash@0 {
        compatible = "jedec,spi-nor"
        ...
                partitions {
                compatible = "fixed-partitions";
                        concat-partition = <&flash0_partition &flash1_partition>;
                        flash0_partition: partition@0 {
                                label = "part0_0";
                                reg = <0x0 0x800000>;
                        }
                }
}
flash@1 {
        compatible = "jedec,spi-nor"
        ...
                partitions {
                compatible = "fixed-partitions";
                        concat-partition = <&flash0_partition &flash1_partition>;
                        flash1_partition: partition@0 {
                                label = "part0_1";
                                reg = <0x0 0x800000>;
                        }
                }
}

Based on the bindings the MTD-CONCAT driver need to be updated to create
virtual mtd-concat devices.
