Just curious...Is there a reason why we can't do it like this?:
Is this because of issue of #address-cells and #size-cells Or mtd 
bindings always prefer subnodes?

	mtdnode {
		reg = <0x0123000 0x40000>;
		#address-cells = <1>;
		#size-cells = <1>;
		cell@0 {
			compatible = "nvmem-cell";
			reg = <0x0 0x14>;
		};

		partitions {
			compatible = "fixed-partitions";
			#address-cells = <1>;
			#size-cells = <1>;

			partition@0 {
				reg = <0x0 0x20000>;
				cell@0 {
					compatible = "nvmem-cell";
					reg = <0x0 0x10>;
				};
			};
		};
	};

Am okay either way!

thanks,
